Dangerous Heat Conditions Underway
Dallas, TX, is currently under an active Heat Advisory issued by the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. This moderate-severity alert remains in effect through the evening of July 31. The primary concern is dangerously high heat index values that will make temperatures feel significantly hotter than the actual air temperature.
As of this Thursday afternoon, the air temperature stands at 99F, but the combination of heat and humidity pushes the feels-like temperature to 103F. Relative humidity is at 35%, with a dew point of 66F. Winds are currently blowing from the south at 8 mph, with gusts reaching up to 11 mph. The sky remains mostly clear, allowing intense solar heating to continue.
Forecast for Today and Tomorrow
The National Weather Service forecasts sunny skies today with a high near 100F. Heat index values are expected to climb as high as 108 during the day. Overnight tonight, conditions will remain mostly clear with a low around 81F.
Temperatures may rise slightly to around 83F later in the night. The heat index could still reach 106 overnight due to lingering humidity and warmth. South winds of 5 to 10 mph are expected.
