Dangerous heat now
In Howe, it is currently Thursday this evening, and the leading weather concern is dangerous heat. The air temperature is 100F, and it feels like 101F. Relative humidity is 27%, with a dew point of 61F. Wind is 9 mph, with gusts to 10 mph, and the sky is clear.
Those current readings are enough to make even routine time outside feel taxing. The clear sky also means there is little relief from cloud cover right now, so the heat is the main issue for anyone still outdoors.
Forecast for today, tonight and tomorrow
Today’s forecast called for mostly sunny weather, a high near 98F, a low near 78F, and a 0% chance of precipitation. The official forecast also noted heat index values as high as 99F and a south wind around 10 mph.
