Current Conditions and Today's Outlook
It is currently Thursday afternoon in Plano, and the heat is holding firm. Right now, the temperature sits at 88F with a feels-like of 87F under partly cloudy skies. Humidity is at 38%, and winds are blowing from the south-southeast at 9 mph.
Today will be hot, with a high near 97F and a low near 79F. The sky will be mostly sunny for much of the day. However, keep an eye on the sky after 4pm, as there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms developing. Despite that late-day possibility, little to no rain is expected through the rest of this evening, with chances staying at or below 6%. For context, today's high is about the same as yesterday's, so we are maintaining a steady warm pattern.
Tomorrow's Forecast
Conditions are holding steady as we head into tomorrow. We expect a high near 98F, which is near today's temperature, and a low near 80F. The sky will again be mostly sunny. Just like today, there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Temperatures may dip slightly to around 96F in the afternoon, but heat index values could reach as high as 104F. Winds will remain light, from the south at 5 to 10 mph. It is a good day for the outdoors if you plan to be out before the late afternoon, though staying hydrated is essential given the heat index values.
