Heat and humidity lead the forecast
Dallas is in for a very hot, humid stretch, with today’s high near 102F and the air already feeling warmer than the thermometer shows. Current conditions are clear, with an air temperature of 82F and a feels-like reading of 87F.
Humidity is a major part of the story: relative humidity is 70%, and the dew point is 72F. Wind is 8 mph, with gusts to 14 mph. That combination is keeping the air muggy even before the day reaches its hottest readings.
