Current Heat and Humidity
The primary concern for Celina residents this afternoon is the intense heat. The air temperature currently sits at 93 degrees Fahrenheit, but the combination of heat and moisture makes it feel like 101 degrees. This high heat index is driven by a dew point of 72 degrees and relative humidity at 50 percent.
Despite the muggy feel, the sky remains clear, and winds are light at 3 miles per hour with gusts reaching 7 miles per hour. There are no active National Weather Service warnings, watches, or advisories in effect for the area at this time.
Today and Tonight Outlook
For the remainder of today, conditions will remain sunny with a high near 96 degrees. The chance of precipitation is minimal at 10 percent. As evening approaches, the sky will stay mostly clear.
Temperatures will drop to a low near 78 degrees, though they may rise slightly to around 80 degrees overnight. The heat index values could reach as high as 102 degrees during the night, with south winds blowing between 5 and 10 miles per hour. The lack of significant wind or cloud cover means the heat will persist into the evening hours.
