Current Conditions and Alert Status

A Heat Advisory is currently active for The Colony, issued by the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. This moderate-severity alert remains in effect until tomorrow evening. Residents should be aware that dangerous heat conditions are present right now.

The air temperature stands at 100F, while the feels-like temperature is 97F. Relative humidity is low at 17%, and the dew point is 48F. Winds are light, blowing from the south southwest at 7 mph with gusts up to 8 mph.

The sky is clear, offering no relief from the sun’s intensity.

Today and Tonight Outlook

Today will remain sunny with a high near 103F. Heat index values are expected to reach as high as 104F. The chance of precipitation is 0%, meaning no rain is expected to provide any cooling effect.

Winds will stay around 5 mph from the south southwest. Tonight, conditions will remain clear with a low near 80F. However, temperatures are expected to rise to around 82F overnight.

Heat index values may reach 101F, and winds will shift to the south at around 5 mph. The lack of overnight cooling means the heat will persist into the early morning hours.

Tomorrow’s Forecast and Safety

Tomorrow will follow a similar pattern, with sunny skies and a high near 104F. Heat index values could climb to 106F, making the air feel significantly hotter than the actual temperature. The chance of precipitation is only 1%, so dry conditions will continue.

Winds will come from the southwest at around 5 mph. Given the sustained high temperatures and low humidity, it is crucial to stay hydrated and limit midday exertion. Check on neighbors, especially those who may not have access to air conditioning, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

The combination of high heat index values and clear skies creates a hazardous environment for outdoor activities.
