Dangerous Heat Conditions

Denton, Texas, is currently under an active Heat Advisory issued by the National Weather Service. The advisory carries a moderate severity rating and is expected to remain in effect through the evening. Current conditions reflect the intensity of this event, with the air temperature at 99F but a feels-like temperature soaring to 108F due to significant humidity.

The relative humidity stands at 42%, with a dew point of 72F, creating a muggy atmosphere that exacerbates the heat stress.

The sky remains clear as winds blow from the south-southeast at 10 mph, with gusts reaching up to 16 mph. This combination of high temperatures and moisture levels creates hazardous conditions for outdoor activities. The National Weather Service has noted that heat index values are expected to reach as high as 110 during the day.
