Heat is the main story
Dangerous heat is the main story in Denton, where the air temperature is 97F but it feels like 104F. The air is quite humid, too, with a dew point of 70F and relative humidity at 42%. Skies are clear, and wind is 8 mph with gusts to 9 mph.
That combination of strong heat and humidity can make outdoor activity feel more taxing than the thermometer alone suggests. The current feel is already matching the forecast heat index value as high as 104F for today.
Forecast through tomorrow
Today stays sunny and very hot, with a high near 101F. The chance of precipitation is 1%, so the forecast offers little help from rain. South wind is forecast from 0 to 10 mph.
Tonight should be mostly clear, with a low near 82F. Heat index values may still be as high as 102F, and south southeast wind is expected at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow brings more of the same: sunny weather, a high near 101F and a low near 80F. The chance of precipitation remains 1%, with south wind at 5 to 10 mph. The heat index may climb as high as 106F.
