Hot, humid start
Very hot weather remains the main story for Fort Worth, with the current overnight reading already at 82F and feeling like 86F. Humidity is making the air feel heavier: relative humidity is 67%, and the dew point is 70F. Skies are clear, and the wind is moving at 9 mph with gusts to 16 mph.
That warm and humid start sets the stage for another day of serious heat. The forecast high today is near 101F, and the chance of precipitation is just 1%, with sunny conditions expected.
Today, tonight and tomorrow
Today should stay sunny, with a south wind of 5 to 10 mph. Heat index values may climb as high as 105F, so it may feel hotter than the air temperature during the warmest conditions.
Tonight is expected to be mostly clear. The low is around 81F, with temperatures rising to around 83F overnight. Heat index values tonight may still be as high as 103F, and the south wind is expected to remain 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow brings more of the same: sunny skies, a high near 101F and a 1% chance of precipitation. Heat index values may reach as high as 106F, with a south wind of 5 to 10 mph.
