Current Conditions and Alert Status
An active Air Quality Alert is currently in effect for The Colony, issued by the National Weather Service. While the severity and urgency details are not specified in the official notification, residents should remain aware of potential respiratory sensitivities. The immediate weather is dominated by intense heat.
As of this afternoon, the air temperature stands at 93F, but the combination of 44% relative humidity and a 68F dew point makes it feel like 98F. Winds are light at 5 mph, with gusts reaching 14 mph, and the sky is partly cloudy. This muggy heat is the primary concern for anyone spending time outdoors.
Today and Tonight Outlook
The day will remain mostly sunny, with the high temperature climbing near 99F. Temperatures are expected to dip slightly to around 97F in the afternoon, but heat index values will peak at 104F. South southeast winds will stay around 5 mph.
As night falls, conditions will shift to mostly clear skies. The low temperature will hover near 79F, though it may rise to around 81F overnight. Heat index values will remain high, reaching as much as 100F, with winds shifting to 5 to 10 mph from the south southeast.
The lack of significant cooling overnight means the heat will persist into the early morning hours.
