Texas Grid Is Under Threat as Record Temperatures 

Record-breaking heat is set to scorch central US for another week and threaten Texas -- already in the bull’s eye for blistering weather -- with searing temperatures that may drive electricity demand to new heights.

Fort Worth could hit 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius) Monday and Tuesday, while Dallas may reach 109, the National Weather Service said.
