Very hot and humid this afternoon
Fort Worth is dealing with a very hot, humid setup this afternoon, and the heat is already noticeable. The air temperature is 93F, but it feels like 99F. Relative humidity is 47%, with a dew point of 70F, which is high enough to make the air feel quite muggy.
Skies are clear, and the wind is at 8 mph with gusts to 10 mph. With sunshine in place, today’s high is expected to be near 101F. The heat index may reach as high as 105, so the heat will feel more intense than the thermometer alone suggests.
Today, tonight and tomorrow
Today stays sunny, with a 0% chance of precipitation. South wind is forecast at 5 to 10 mph. Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low around 80 and temperatures rising to around 82. The heat index tonight may be as high as 102, so it will remain warm even after the peak heat eases.
Tomorrow looks similar: sunny, dry and very hot. The high is forecast near 100F, with a low near 80F and a 0% chance of precipitation. The heat index tomorrow may rise as high as 103. South wind is again expected at 5 to 10 mph.
