Extreme high heat and dry conditions are serving to create the potential
for excessive wildfires across much of Texas, according to officials. On
Tuesday, a report citing officials with the Texas A&M Forest Service,
noted that even though thunderstorms are predicted this week, lightning
from those storms could spark ignitions of fire. Between July 8 and July
10, forty-three new wildfires were recorded across the state. The report
also noted the potential is high for wildfires to erupt near the cities
of Athens, Tyler, Longview, Palestine and Huntsville.

Also on Tuesday, temperatures in the city of Tyler hovered at  for most
of the afternoon. As of Wednesday, the National Weather Service has a
heat advisory in place across portions of southern Texas.
