Dangerous heat is the main concern
Dangerous heat is the notable weather issue in Dallas, where it currently feels like 101 degrees with an air temperature of 100. The sky is mostly clear, relative humidity is 27%, and the dew point is 61 degrees. Wind is moving at 9 mph, with gusts to 11 mph.
This is a hot, dry-feeling setup, and the lack of cloud cover is keeping the heat front and center. Even without an active weather alert, conditions can still be stressful for people spending time outside.
Today, tonight and tomorrow
Today is expected to stay sunny, with a high near 101 and a low near 80. The chance of precipitation is 0%. Heat index values may reach as high as 103. South wind is forecast at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight should be mostly clear, with a low around 80. Heat index values may still be as high as 101. Wind is expected from the south southeast at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow brings more sun, with a high near 101 and a low near 80. The chance of precipitation is 1%. Heat index values may again reach as high as 103, with south wind at 5 to 10 mph.
