Very hot in Dallas

Very hot weather is the main story in Dallas: it already feels like 87F during Thursday overnight, and today’s high is near 101F. Current conditions are clear, with an air temperature of 84F, relative humidity at 58%, and a dew point of 68F. Wind is 9 mph, with gusts up to 18 mph.

That combination means the heat is already noticeable, even before the day’s peak temperature. The sky is clear now, and the forecast keeps the pattern mostly simple: sun, heat, and very little rain chance.

Today will be sunny, with a high near 101F and a 1% chance of precipitation. Heat index values may rise as high as 104. South wind is expected at 5 to 10 mph.

Tonight remains clear, with a low around 80F and temperatures rising to around 82F overnight. Heat index values may be as high as 104, with south wind at 5 to 10 mph.

Tomorrow stays sunny, with a high near 101F, a low near 80F, and a 13% chance of precipitation. Heat index values may again reach 104, with south wind at 5 to 10 mph.

Alerts and safety
