*As of Sep 11, 2 PM local time.*

Dangerous Heat and Humidity

Allen is experiencing dangerous heat conditions this afternoon. The air temperature is currently 93F, but the heat index makes it feel like 101F. This intense warmth is compounded by significant humidity, with a dew point of 72F and relative humidity at 50%.

The sky is clear, and winds are light at 3 mph with gusts reaching 10 mph. These conditions create a muggy environment that can quickly lead to heat stress if proper precautions are not taken.

Today and Tonight Outlook

The forecast for the remainder of the day indicates mostly sunny skies. Temperatures are expected to reach a high near 97F, with heat index values potentially climbing to 103F. The chance of precipitation is low at 12%.

Southwest winds will blow around 5 mph. As evening approaches, conditions will remain mostly clear with a low around 79F. Notably, heat index values may reach 104F tonight, driven by south winds ranging from 5 to 10 mph.

The persistent warmth means the heat will not dissipate quickly after sunset.

Tomorrow’s Forecast

Tomorrow will bring sunny skies and even higher temperatures. The high is expected to be near 100F, with heat index values again reaching 104F. South winds will be around 10 mph.

The chance of rain is minimal at just 1%. The low temperature will remain near 79F. With no active weather alerts in effect, the primary concern remains the sustained high heat and humidity.

Residents should stay hydrated, limit outdoor exertion during peak heat hours, and check on vulnerable neighbors to ensure everyone stays safe in these conditions.
