Dangerous heat this evening
Van Alstyne is dealing with dangerous heat this evening, with the air temperature at 97F and the feels-like temperature at 101F. The sky is clear, relative humidity is 37%, and the dew point is 66F. Wind is moving at 9 mph, with gusts to 10 mph.
Those numbers mean the heat is still the main weather concern, even without clouds or storms nearby. The combination of high air temperature and a triple-digit feels-like reading can make outdoor work, sports, and errands more taxing than the thermometer alone suggests.
Today, tonight and tomorrow
Today’s forecast calls for mostly sunny weather, a high near 98F, a low near 77F, and a 0% chance of precipitation. The official forecast also notes heat index values as high as 99, with south wind around 10 mph.
Tonight is expected to stay mostly clear, with a low around 77F and temperatures rising to around 79 overnight. Heat index values may run as high as 98, with south wind around 10 mph.
Tomorrow looks sunny and nearly as hot, with a high near 97F, a low near 77F, and a 2% chance of precipitation. Heat index values may reach 100, with south wind from 5 to 10 mph.
