ERCOT issues Weather Watch on Monday amid expected record demand
DALLAS - The Electric Reliability Council of Texas issued a Weather Watch for Monday because the excessive heat is expected to send demand on the power grid soaring.
ERCOT said grid conditions are expected to be normal, but there is a possibility that power reserves will be lower.
Texas has broken the single-day record for power demand several times this summer. That could happen again on Monday.
According to the FOX 4 Weather team, the high temperatures will once again be above 100 on Monday.
Dallas weather: Streak of 100-degree days continues. How close are we to breaking a record?
DFW has seen 12 straight days with temperatures over 100 degrees, but we are far from the all-time record.
A weak front will also push into the area Monday morning bringing high humidity and a heat index that could top 110 degrees.
Some storms are possible in the evening and overnight, mainly north of the metroplex.
