Severe Heat Alert in Effect

Celina is currently under an Extreme Heat Warning issued by the National Weather Service. This severe alert remains in effect until early tomorrow evening. Residents should take immediate precautions to avoid heat-related illness.

The current air temperature stands at 100F, but the heat index makes it feel like 105F. Relative humidity is 33%, and the dew point is 66F. Winds are light at 7 mph with gusts reaching 8 mph, and the sky is clear.

These conditions create a dangerous environment for outdoor activity, particularly during the hottest parts of the day.

Today and Tonight Outlook

Today will remain sunny with a high near 104F. The heat index may reach values as high as 107F. South southwest winds will blow around 5 mph.

There is only a 7% chance of precipitation. Tonight, conditions will stay mostly clear with a low near 81F, though temperatures may rise to around 83F overnight. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms exists between 7pm and 10pm.

The heat index could reach 106F, and south winds will remain around 5 mph.

Tomorrow’s Forecast

Tomorrow will also be sunny with a high near 104F. The heat index is expected to peak at 109F, making it feel even hotter than the actual air temperature. South southwest winds will continue around 5 mph.

There is a 22% chance of precipitation, with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms occurring after 4pm. As the day progresses, the risk of brief storms increases slightly compared to today. Given the persistent extreme heat and potential for evening thunderstorms, it is crucial to stay hydrated and limit midday exertion.

Check on elderly neighbors and ensure pets have access to shade and water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and seek air-conditioned environments when possible to manage the intense heat index values.
