*As of Sep 5, 2 PM local time.*

Current Heat Conditions

A Heat Advisory is currently active for The Colony, signaling a period of intense warmth that requires caution. Right now, the air temperature stands at 93F, but the combination of heat and humidity makes it feel like 95F. The sky is mostly clear, and winds are light at 3 mph with gusts reaching 7 mph.

Relative humidity is at 39%, and the dew point is 64F. These conditions contribute to the high heat index values that are expected to persist through the day.

Today and Tonight Outlook

Today will remain sunny with a high near 100F. The chance of precipitation is very low at 3%, meaning dry conditions will dominate. As evening approaches, temperatures will drop to a low near 79F, though they may rise slightly to around 81F overnight.

The sky will remain clear tonight, with winds shifting to a south-southeast direction at speeds between 0 and 10 mph. Heat index values could reach as high as 103F during the evening hours, so the heat will not dissipate quickly after sunset.

Tomorrow and Safety Reminders

Tomorrow brings similar conditions, with a sunny sky and a high near 101F. The low will be around 80F, potentially rising to 82F overnight. Winds will be from the southeast at 0 to 10 mph, and the chance of rain remains minimal at 3%.

Heat index values may peak at 106F tomorrow. Given the sustained high temperatures and heat index values exceeding 100F, it is crucial to stay hydrated and limit outdoor exertion during the hottest parts of the day. Check on elderly neighbors or those without air conditioning, as the lack of overnight cooling can pose significant health risks.

Stay indoors when possible and use air conditioning or cooling centers if available.
