Current Conditions and Active Alert

A Heat Advisory is currently in effect for Anna, issued by the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. This moderate-severity alert is expected to remain active until the evening of tomorrow. Right now, the air temperature stands at 100F, but the combination of heat and humidity makes it feel like 103F.

The sky is clear, with relative humidity at 29% and a dew point of 63F. Winds are light, blowing from the southwest at 6 mph with gusts up to 8 mph. These dry, hot conditions are typical for this time of year, but the elevated heat index poses significant risks to anyone spending time outdoors.

Today and Tonight Outlook

The rest of today will remain sunny with a high near 100F. There is no chance of precipitation, and heat index values may reach as high as 104F. Southwest winds will average around 10 mph.

As night falls, the sky will stay clear, and temperatures will drop to a low near 77F. However, it is worth noting that temperatures may rise slightly to around 79F overnight due to the lack of cloud cover and wind. Heat index values could still reach 102F during the evening hours, meaning the air will remain uncomfortably warm well into the night.

South winds will shift to 5-10 mph.

Tomorrow’s Forecast and Safety

Tomorrow will bring even more intense heat, with a high near 103F and sunny skies. The chance of rain is minimal at 2%. Heat index values are expected to peak at 107F, making it feel significantly hotter than the actual air temperature.

West southwest winds will blow at 5-10 mph. Tonight, conditions will remain clear with a low near 78F, potentially rising to 80F. Given the sustained high temperatures and low humidity, it is crucial to stay hydrated and limit outdoor exertion during the hottest parts of the day.

Check on elderly neighbors and those without access to air conditioning, as the heat can be particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations. Avoid leaving pets or children in parked vehicles, as temperatures can rise rapidly in enclosed spaces.
