Heat and humidity lead the forecast
Plano is starting Friday this morning with very hot, sticky weather already in place. The air temperature is 82F, but it feels like 89F with relative humidity at 79% and a dew point of 75F. The sky is clear, and wind is 6 mph with gusts to 17 mph.
That humidity is the main reason the heat feels heavier than the thermometer alone suggests. Conditions are already uncomfortable, and the forecast keeps the heat in place through today and tomorrow.
Today, tonight and tomorrow
Today is expected to be sunny, with a high near 100F and a low near 80F. The chance of precipitation is 2%. Heat index values may reach 102. Wind is expected from the south southwest at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight should stay mostly clear, with a low around 80 and temperatures rising to around 82 overnight. Heat index values may be as high as 101. Wind is expected from the south southeast at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow is forecast to be sunny, with a high near 99F and a low near 79F. The chance of precipitation is 11%. Heat index values may reach 103, with south wind at 5 to 10 mph.
