As of this Sunday morning, the air temperature stands at 82F, but the combination of heat and moisture makes it feel like 86F.

Forecast for Today and Tomorrow

The heat will intensify significantly throughout the day. Today is forecast to be sunny with a high near 102F. The National Weather Service indicates that heat index values will climb as high as 109F, creating hazardous conditions for anyone spending time outdoors.

There is a 0% chance of precipitation, meaning no relief from rain is expected. Winds will remain light, shifting from south southwest to south at 5 to 10 mph.

Tonight, skies will become mostly clear, allowing temperatures to drop to a low around 81F. However, the heat will linger, with temperatures rising to around 83F overnight and heat index values staying as high as 106F. Winds will continue from the south at 5 to 10 mph.

Tomorrow will mirror today’s intensity. Expect another sunny day with a high near 102F and heat index values peaking at 109F.

Safety Reminders

Given the extreme heat and high humidity, it is critical to prioritize safety. Stay hydrated by drinking water frequently, even if you do not feel thirsty. Limit outdoor exertion, especially during the midday hours when the sun is strongest.

Seek air-conditioned environments as much as possible. Check on elderly neighbors or those without adequate cooling, as high heat can be life-threatening. If you must be outside, wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and apply sunscreen to protect your skin from intense UV exposure.
