Very hot this afternoon

Dallas is dealing with very hot weather this afternoon, and the heat is the main story. The air temperature is 95F, but it feels like 97F under a clear sky. Relative humidity is 37%, with a dew point of 64F. Wind is 11 mph, with gusts to 11 mph.

The combination of strong sun and temperatures well into the 90s means the heat is already noticeable, and the forecast keeps conditions hot through today. Today’s high is near 101F, with heat index values as high as 104. The chance of precipitation is 1%, and skies stay sunny. South wind is forecast at 5 to 10 mph.

Tonight and tomorrow

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

Tomorrow looks very similar: sunny, with a high near 101F and a low near 80F. Heat index values may again climb as high as 104. The chance of precipitation is 13%, with south wind at 5 to 10 mph.

Alerts and heat safety

There are no active NWS/NOAA weather alerts for Dallas.

Even without an alert, this is serious summer heat. Drink water, take breaks from strenuous outdoor activity when you can, and check on people who may be more vulnerable to heat. Clear skies can make shaded breaks especially helpful, and parked vehicles can heat up quickly.
