Current heat and humidity
Fort Worth is in a very hot and humid setup during Friday overnight. The air temperature is 82F, but it feels like 88F. Relative humidity is 74%, and the dew point is 73F, keeping the air quite muggy. Winds are at 9 mph, with gusts to 19 mph, under a clear sky.
The main weather concern is the heat already in place and the hotter conditions expected today. With humidity staying noticeable, the apparent temperature will matter as much as the thermometer for anyone spending time outside.
Today, tonight and tomorrow
Today will be sunny, with a high near 102F. Heat index values may reach 104, and the chance of precipitation is 1%, so rain is not expected to play much of a role. A south wind around 5 mph is expected.
Tonight remains mostly clear, with a low around 80F. Heat index values may still be as high as 103, and south wind is expected at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow brings more sun, with a high near 100F and a low near 79F. Heat index values may again reach 104. The chance of precipitation is 5%, with a south wind around 5 mph.
