Muggy Start with Afternoon Storm Risk

The morning in Melissa is defined by significant humidity, with a dew point sitting at 73F and relative humidity at 94%. The current air temperature is 75F, though it feels like 77F due to the moisture in the air. Winds are blowing from the southeast at 7 mph, with gusts reaching 14 mph, under a cloudy sky.

This high moisture content will persist through the day, making the air feel heavy and sticky for those spending time outdoors.

Today’s Forecast and Evening Outlook

Residents should expect a high near 92F today. The National Weather Service indicates a chance of rain showers before 1pm, transitioning to a higher likelihood of showers and thunderstorms between 1pm and 4pm. The overall chance of precipitation is 40%.

Heat index values may reach 100F, adding to the discomfort. Winds will shift to around 10 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Tonight, a slight chance of rain showers exists between 1am and 4am.

The sky will be partly cloudy, with lows near 73F before rising to 75F overnight. Winds will ease to 5-10 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. New rainfall amounts are expected to be less than a tenth of an inch.

Tomorrow’s Drier, Hotter Outlook

However, the heat index values are expected to climb as high as 103F. Winds will be light, ranging from 5 to 10 mph from the south. With no active weather alerts in effect, the primary concern remains the combination of heat and humidity.
