Very hot, humid start
Dallas is starting this morning with heat already making itself known. The air temperature is 84F, but it feels like 90F. Humidity is high, with relative humidity at 66% and a dew point of 72F, giving the air a muggy feel even before temperatures climb further.
Skies are clear right now. Wind is at 9 mph, with gusts up to 16 mph. The main weather concern is not storms or rain, but the combination of strong heat and humid air.
Today, tonight and tomorrow
Today is expected to be sunny, with a high near 101F. The heat index may reach as high as 104. The chance of precipitation is only 1%, so rain is not expected to offer relief. South wind is forecast at 5 to 10 mph.
