*As of Aug 6, 8 AM local time.*
Very hot start
Denton’s main weather concern is heat. It already feels like 87F, and today’s high is forecast near 100F under sunny skies. Current conditions are clear, with an air temperature of 84F, relative humidity at 58%, and a dew point of 68F. Wind is running 9 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph.
Today, tonight and tomorrow
Today stays sunny, with a high near 100F and a low near 81F. The chance of precipitation is only 1%, so rain is not a meaningful part of the local forecast today. Heat index values may reach as high as 102, making the heat feel a bit more intense than the air temperature alone suggests. A south wind around 10 mph is expected.
Tonight is expected to stay clear, with the low around 81F. Heat index values may still run as high as 101, and the south wind remains around 10 mph.
Tomorrow brings another hot forecast: sunny conditions followed by a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. The high is near 100F, the low near 80F, and the chance of precipitation is 16%. Heat index values may rise as high as 104, with south wind 5 to 10 mph.
