Very hot and humid now
The Colony is starting with very hot, muggy conditions, and the heat will build from here. The current air temperature is 86F, but it feels like 92F. Relative humidity is 62%, and the dew point is 72F, which is high enough to make the air feel heavy.
Skies are clear right now. Wind is light at 3 mph, though gusts are reaching 16 mph. Even with the lighter wind, the humidity is helping keep the heat noticeable.
Forecast through tomorrow
Today will be sunny, with a high near 102F and a low near 80F. The heat index may climb as high as 105F. The chance of precipitation is 3%, so rain is not a major feature of the forecast. South wind is expected at 5 to 10 mph.
