Dangerous Heat Conditions
It is currently Sunday this afternoon in Denison, and the primary concern is the intense heat. The air temperature stands at 99F, but the combination of humidity and heat makes it feel like 102F. This dangerous heat level requires caution for anyone spending time outdoors.
The sky is mostly clear, and the relative humidity is 33%, with a dew point of 64F. Winds are blowing from the south at 10 mph, with gusts reaching 23 mph. These conditions contribute to the high heat index values that are expected to persist through the day.
Forecast for Today and Tonight
The day will remain sunny with a high near 101F. There is no chance of precipitation, so residents should not expect any relief from rain. As evening approaches, the sky will remain mostly clear.
Temperatures will drop to a low near 79F, though they may rise slightly to around 81F overnight. The heat index values will remain high, reaching as high as 99F. Winds will shift to a south direction, slowing down to 5 to 10 mph.
This lack of significant cooling overnight means the heat will continue to build into the next day.
