Right now, the air temperature stands at 82F, but the combination of heat and moisture makes it feel like 87F. The relative humidity is at 70%, with a dew point of 72F, creating a muggy atmosphere.

Forecast for Today and Tomorrow

Today, the sun will dominate the sky with no chance of precipitation. Highs will climb to near 102F, with heat index values peaking as high as 109F. South southwest winds will hover around 10 mph.

Overnight, conditions will remain mostly clear with a low near 83F. Temperatures will stay warm, rising to around 85F during the night, while heat indices remain elevated at 108F. South winds will continue at 5 to 10 mph.

Tomorrow follows a similar pattern. Expect sunny skies and a high near 102F. Heat index values will reach 108F, with south southwest winds between 5 and 10 mph. The night ahead will also be mostly clear, with lows around 83F and temperatures rising to 85F overnight. Heat indices will stay high at 108F, with south winds of 5 to 10 mph.

Safety Reminders

Given the active Heat Advisory and the extreme heat index values, it is critical to prioritize safety. Stay hydrated by drinking water frequently, even if you do not feel thirsty. Limit outdoor exertion, especially during the midday hours when the sun is strongest.

If you must be outside, seek shade or air-conditioned spaces as much as possible. Check on neighbors, particularly the elderly and those without air conditioning, to ensure they are safe and cool. Avoid leaving children or pets in parked vehicles, as temperatures inside can rise rapidly to life-threatening levels.
