Current Conditions and Alert Status
A Heat Advisory is currently in effect for the Frisco area, issued by the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. This moderate-severity alert remains active until early tomorrow evening. Right now, the air temperature is 100F, and it feels like 100F due to the dry conditions.
Relative humidity is low at 23%, with a dew point of 57F. Winds are light, blowing from the south southwest at 7 mph with gusts to 8 mph, and the sky is clear. The dry air means the heat feels intense, though the lack of moisture keeps the humidity level manageable compared to humid heat events.
Today and Tonight Outlook
Today will remain sunny with a high near 102F. The heat index values are expected to reach as high as 105F, making the perceived temperature even higher than the actual air temperature. Winds will shift to the south southwest, ranging from 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight, the sky will stay clear, and temperatures will drop to a low around 80F. However, residents should note that temperatures are expected to rise to around 82F overnight. The heat index will still reach 102F, and winds will come from the south at 5 to 10 mph.
This persistent warmth overnight means the body has little time to cool down, increasing the risk of heat-related stress.
