Dangerous Heat Conditions Underway
A Heat Advisory is currently in effect for Aubrey, Texas, signaling dangerous levels of heat that can lead to heat-related illnesses. The National Weather Service has issued this moderate-severity alert due to the combination of high temperatures and humidity. As of this afternoon, the air temperature stands at 97F, but the heat index makes it feel like 102F.
This significant disparity between the actual air temperature and the perceived heat is driven by a relative humidity of 39% and a dew point of 68F.
The sky remains mostly clear, allowing intense solar radiation to warm the surface further. Winds are currently blowing from the south-southeast at 9 mph, with gusts reaching up to 12 mph. While these breezes provide minimal relief, they help mix the hot air near the ground. The official forecast confirms that heat index values will remain elevated throughout the day.
Forecast for Today and Tomorrow
Today is expected to be sunny with a high near 101F. The chance of precipitation is very low at just 4%. As evening approaches, conditions will shift to mostly clear skies for tonight.
Temperatures will drop to a low near 79F, though they may rise slightly to around 81F overnight due to the lingering heat. Winds will decrease to between 5 and 10 mph from the south-southeast. Despite the cooling trend, the heat index is forecast to remain as high as 103F during the night hours.
Tomorrow will also be sunny with a high near 100F. The chance of precipitation increases slightly to 6%, but rain is not expected. Winds will continue from the south at 5 to 10 mph. Overnight tomorrow, skies will clear with a low around 78F, rising to about 80F later in the night. Heat index values are projected to reach 104F.
