Heat is the main concern
Dangerous heat is the notable weather issue in Princeton this afternoon, where the air temperature is 95F and it feels like 100F. Skies are clear, with relative humidity at 42% and a dew point of 68F. Wind is 12 mph, with gusts up to 14 mph.
The heat will remain the main factor through today. The forecast calls for sunny weather, a high near 100F and a 1% chance of precipitation. Heat index values may climb as high as 104F.
Tonight, skies are expected to be mostly clear, with a low near 78F. Heat index values may be as high as 102F, and wind is expected from the south southeast at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow's forecast
Tomorrow remains sunny and hot. The high is near 99F, the low near 78F, and the chance of precipitation is 1%. Heat index values may reach 102F. Wind is expected from the south southwest at 5 to 10 mph.
That keeps the pattern simple but demanding: plenty of sun, very warm air, and almost no rain relief in the near-term forecast provided for Princeton. Residents with outdoor plans should treat the heat as the main weather impact.
