Dangerous heat leads the forecast
Dangerous heat is the main weather concern in Sherman this afternoon. The air temperature is 97F, but it feels like 104F. The sky is clear, and the air remains quite humid, with a dew point of 70F and relative humidity at 42%.
Wind is currently 10 mph, with gusts to 13 mph. The combination of strong heat and humidity is enough to make outdoor activity feel more stressful, even without any rain or cloud cover to break up the sun.
