Sherman Stays Hot and Dry as Tropical Storm Edouard Passes South

Regional Context and Local Impact

Tropical Storm Edouard is currently tracking toward the Texas-Louisiana border, with sustained winds near 40 mph and possible strengthening before landfall. While the system is forecast to turn west-northwest and weaken as it approaches Central Texas, its path keeps it well to the south of Sherman. Consequently, this area stays hot and mostly dry.

The heaviest rain associated with Edouard is expected over Southeast Texas, not here.

Current Conditions and Today's Forecast

It is currently Tuesday morning in Sherman. The sky is clear with an air temperature of 90F. It feels like 95F due to a relative humidity of 52% and a dew point of 70F. Winds are light at 5 mph with gusts up to 6 mph.

Today, expect sunny skies with a high near 101F. Heat index values will reach as high as 104F. South southeast winds will remain around 5 mph. The chance of precipitation is just 9%. Temperatures will drop to a low near 77F tonight.

Tomorrow and Safety Reminders

Tomorrow, conditions remain largely sunny with a high near 98F. There is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms between 1pm and 4pm, bringing the precipitation chance to 10%. Heat index values may climb to 103F. Southeast winds will increase slightly to 5 to 10 mph.

There are no active National Weather Service or NOAA weather alerts for this area. While Edouard is expected to break the recent run of 100-degree days, Sherman continues to experience significant heat. Residents should hydrate frequently and limit midday exertion to avoid heat-related illness. Keep an eye on local updates as the storm system moves through the region.
