Dangerous heat leads the evening
Dangerous heat is the main weather concern in Van Alstyne this evening. The air temperature is 99F, and it feels like 102F under a clear sky. Relative humidity is 33%, with a dew point of 64F. Wind is at 12 mph, with gusts reaching 14 mph.
Those numbers mean the heat remains stressful even without much cloud cover or rain nearby. The current heat index is higher than the air temperature, so outdoor activity can feel more taxing than the thermometer alone suggests.

Today’s forecast is sunny, with a high near 98F and a low near 78F. The chance of precipitation is 1%. The official forecast also notes heat index values as high as 100, with south wind around 10 mph.
Tonight is expected to be mostly clear, with a low around 78F. Heat index values may be as high as 101, with south southeast wind at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow stays sunny, with a high near 97F and a low near 77F. The chance of precipitation remains 1%. Heat index values may climb as high as 100, with south southwest wind at 5 to 10 mph.
