Heat is the main concern
Dangerous heat is the notable weather issue in Howe this afternoon. The air temperature is 97F, but it feels like 104F. The sky is clear, and moisture remains noticeable, with a dew point of 70F and relative humidity at 42%. Wind is 10 mph, with gusts to 11 mph.
That combination of heat and humidity can make routine outdoor work feel more stressful than the thermometer alone suggests. Even without storms or clouds, the heat index is already a concern for anyone spending extended time outside.
