Muggy start in Princeton
Quite humid air is the main weather story for Princeton this morning. The dew point is 72F and relative humidity is 70%, giving the air a heavy feel even under a clear sky. The current temperature is 82F, but it feels like 87F. Wind is 7 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph.
That moisture will matter as temperatures climb. Today is expected to stay sunny, with a high near 99F. Heat index values may reach as high as 102F. The chance of precipitation is 1%, so rain is not a meaningful part of the local forecast today. South wind is expected around 10 mph.
