Current Conditions and Alert Status

Dallas is currently under an active Heat Advisory, a moderate-severity alert issued by the National Weather Service that remains in effect until the evening of July 24. The advisory highlights the significant risk posed by the combination of high temperatures and intense humidity. Right now, the air temperature stands at 82F with a feels-like reading of 89F.

The atmosphere is heavy, with relative humidity at 79% and a dew point of 75F, creating an oppressively humid environment. Winds are blowing from the south southeast at 9 mph, with gusts reaching 14 mph, while the sky remains cloudy.

Forecast for Today and Tomorrow

Today, the sun will break through the clouds, resulting in partly sunny skies. The high will reach near 98F, with a low near 81F. The chance of precipitation is minimal at 6%. However, the heat index will soar to as high as 106. Winds will shift to the south southeast around 10 mph, with gusts potentially hitting 25 mph.

Tonight, skies will turn partly cloudy. Temperatures will drop to a low around 81, though they may rise slightly to around 83 overnight. The heat index will remain elevated at 106. South winds will continue around 10 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph.

Tomorrow, conditions will improve slightly with mostly sunny skies. The high will climb to near 100F, with a low near 81F. The chance of rain drops to just 1%.

The heat index will again reach 106. Winds will come from the south southwest around 10 mph. Tomorrow night, skies will clear to mostly clear with a low around 81 and a heat index of 104.

Winds will ease to 5 to 10 mph from the south southwest.

Safety Reminder

With heat index values consistently reaching 106, the risk of heat-related illness is high. Residents should stay hydrated and limit time spent outdoors during the hottest parts of the day. Check on elderly neighbors and those without air conditioning, as the oppressive humidity makes the heat feel significantly more intense than the actual air temperature.
