Heat and humidity lead the forecast
Very hot, humid weather is the main story for Denton. It is currently Wednesday this morning, with the air temperature at 84F and the heat index making it feel like 90F. The sky is clear, relative humidity is 66%, and the dew point is 72F, which is high enough to make the air feel quite muggy.
Wind is at 8 mph, with gusts to 14 mph. Those breezes may help a little at times, but they will not take away the heat risk as temperatures climb.
Today, tonight and tomorrow
Today is expected to stay sunny, with a high near 101F and a low near 82F. The chance of precipitation is only 1%. Heat index values may reach as high as 104, so the day will feel hotter than the thermometer reading. South wind is forecast at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight should be mostly clear, with a low around 82F. Heat index values may remain as high as 102, and south southeast wind is expected at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow looks much the same: sunny, with a high near 101F and a low near 80F. The chance of precipitation remains 1%. Heat index values may rise as high as 106, with south wind at 5 to 10 mph.
