Austin weather: Sunny and hazy day

Does a rainy July mean a milder summer? Zack Shields talks about that and more in his full forecast.

No doubt about it, it's feeling like the last day of July with highs in the mid to upper 90s and heat indices around 100 to 104.

It is very hazy today with air quality unhealthy for people with respiratory and heart issues.
