Muggy Start to the Week
The air in Nocatee, TX, feels heavy and thick this evening. Current readings show an air temperature of 81F, but the heat index pushes that to a feels-like 86F. The primary driver of this discomfort is the moisture in the air; relative humidity sits at 84% with a dew point of 75F.
This level of humidity creates an oppressively muggy atmosphere that makes the warmth feel more intense than the thermometer suggests. The sky is currently obscured by fog and mist, and winds are light at 5 mph, though gusts have reached 22 mph.
Forecast for Today and Tomorrow
Looking ahead, the moisture will linger but the sun will eventually break through. Today remains mostly cloudy with a high near 89F and a low near 79F. The chance of precipitation is low at 14%.
As tonight falls, conditions stay mostly cloudy with a low around 79F. Temperatures may rise slightly to around 80F during the night hours. Winds shift to the south at around 10 mph, with gusts up to 16 mph.
While new rainfall amounts less than a tenth of an inch are possible, the sky remains largely overcast.
Tomorrow brings a significant shift in both temperature and sky cover. Expect sunny skies to develop, driving the high near 95F. However, the heat will be substantial, with heat index values reaching as high as 105.
