Very hot, humid start
Prosper is starting Friday this morning with the main weather story already clear: heat and humidity. The air temperature is 82F, but it feels like 88F. Relative humidity is 74%, and the dew point is 73F, which is high enough to make the air feel quite muggy.
Skies are clear, and the wind is 5 mph with gusts to 20 mph. With today’s high near 100F, the heat will be the condition to plan around. The heat index could reach as high as 102 today, so the air may feel hotter than the thermometer reading at times.
Today, tonight and tomorrow
Today is expected to stay sunny, with a high near 100F and a low near 79F. The chance of precipitation is 2%. Wind is forecast from the south southwest at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight should be mostly clear. The low is expected to be around 79F, with temperatures rising to around 81F overnight. Heat index values could be as high as 103. Wind is expected from the south southeast around 10 mph.
Tomorrow remains sunny, with a high near 99F and a low near 78F. The chance of precipitation is 11%. Wind is forecast from the south southwest at 5 to 10 mph, and heat index values could again be as high as 103.
