Current Conditions and Alert Overview

Fort Worth is under an active Heat Advisory, which remains in effect through tomorrow evening. The National Weather Service has issued this moderate-severity alert due to dangerously high temperatures and humidity levels that will make conditions feel significantly hotter than the actual air temperature.

As of this Sunday morning, the air temperature stands at 81F, but the combination of heat and moisture pushes the feels-like temperature to 84F. The relative humidity is at 70%, with a dew point of 70F, indicating substantial moisture in the air. Winds are currently calm at 0 mph, though gusts have reached up to 22 mph.

The sky is clear, setting the stage for intense heating throughout the day.

Today and Tonight Forecast

Today will be sunny with a high near 102F. The National Weather Service reports that heat index values will climb as high as 109F. South southwest winds will pick up slightly, blowing between 5 to 10 mph.

As evening approaches, skies will become mostly clear. Temperatures will drop to a low around 80F, but they may rise to around 82F overnight. The heat index will remain elevated, reaching up to 108F.

South winds will continue at 5 to 10 mph during the night.

Tomorrow and Safety Reminders

Tomorrow will also be sunny, with a high near 103F. Heat index values are expected to peak at 111F. South winds will persist at 5 to 10 mph. Following tomorrow, skies will turn mostly clear with a low around 81F, potentially rising to 83F overnight, with heat index values as high as 110F.

Given the active Heat Advisory and extreme heat index values, residents are urged to take precautions. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, even if you do not feel thirsty. Limit outdoor exertion, especially during the midday hours when the sun is strongest.

Check on elderly neighbors or those without air conditioning, as the humidity and heat can pose serious health risks. Keep vehicles parked in the shade when possible, and never leave people or pets inside parked cars.
