Air quality is the main concern

An Air Quality Alert is active for Melissa as clear, hot weather continues. There is no rain chance in the local forecast, so the main issues are the air quality concern and another push of summer heat tomorrow.

It is currently Monday this evening in Melissa, with clear sky, an air temperature of 90F and a feels-like reading of 91F. Relative humidity is 43%, with a dew point of 64F. Wind is 6 mph, with gusts to 7 mph.

Clear tonight, hotter tomorrow

Today’s forecast called for a high near 96F, a low near 73F and a 0% chance of precipitation, with clear conditions. Tonight stays clear, with a low around 73F. Southeast wind is expected at 5 to 10 mph.

Tomorrow is forecast to be sunny and hotter, with a high near 100F and a 0% chance of precipitation. Heat index values may reach as high as 101F. South wind is expected at 5 to 10 mph. The low tomorrow is near 75F.

What to keep in mind

The active air quality alert means people who are sensitive to air pollution may want to keep outdoor exertion lighter when possible. With temperatures near 100F tomorrow and a heat index up to 101F, it is also a good idea to drink water, take breaks from strenuous activity and check on people who may have a harder time with heat.
