*As of Aug 15, 5 PM local time.*

Dangerous Heat Grips College Station

The most pressing concern for residents in College Station this evening is the intense heat. The air temperature currently sits at 99F, but the combination of warmth and moisture means it feels like 108F. This dangerous level of heat is driven by a dew point of 72F and relative humidity at 42%.

While the sky is clear and winds are blowing from the south at 10 mph with gusts to 12 mph, the thermal load on the body is significant. This is not a situation for casual outdoor activity without proper precautions.

Clear Skies and No Rain

Looking at the immediate forecast, the weather pattern remains stable and dry. Today’s high was near 99F, with a low near 75F, and the chance of precipitation was just 1%. Tonight, conditions will remain mostly clear with a low around 75F.

The heat index will still reach values as high as 104F, and south winds will shift to 5 to 10 mph. There are no active National Weather Service alerts in effect, meaning no warnings, watches, or advisories are currently issued for the area. The lack of rain is consistent with the dry air mass moving through the region.

Tomorrow’s Outlook

Tomorrow brings a slight increase in temperature, with a high near 100F and a low near 75F. The sky will be sunny, and the chance of precipitation is 0%. The heat index is expected to peak at 104F, with south winds around 5 mph.

This continuation of hot, dry conditions means the heat will persist into the next day. Given the sustained high temperatures and low humidity, it is crucial to stay hydrated and limit midday exertion. Checking on neighbors, especially those who may not have access to air conditioning, is a wise precaution during this stretch of dangerous heat.
