Safety and Outlook

There are no active National Weather Service or NOAA weather alerts in effect for Sherman at this time. However, the combination of high humidity and persistent rain requires caution. The heavy moisture in the air can make temperatures feel hotter than they actually are, so staying hydrated is essential even if you are not engaging in strenuous activity. With rain expected to continue, drivers should reduce speed and increase following distances to account for reduced visibility and slick road surfaces. Keep an eye on local updates as conditions evolve through the weekend.
