Heat is the main weather story
Dangerous heat is the standout condition in Denton this afternoon, where it feels like 100F with an air temperature of 99F. Skies are mostly clear, relative humidity is 31%, and the dew point is 63F. The wind is listed at 13 mph.
Even without active NWS/NOAA weather alerts, the heat is high enough to matter for anyone spending time outside or in places without reliable cooling. The current air is relatively dry by local summer standards, but the combination of sunshine and temperatures near the top of the forecast range will keep conditions stressful.
