Little Elm is currently under an active Heat Advisory issued by the National Weather Service.

Right now, the air temperature stands at 81F, but the oppressive humidity makes it feel like 88F.
The relative humidity is at 94%, with a dew point of 79F, creating a muggy atmosphere that feels heavy and stifling. Winds are blowing from the south at 10 mph, with gusts reaching 13 mph, while the sky remains cloudy.
Forecast for Today and Tonight
Conditions will intensify as the day progresses. Today, expect partly sunny skies with a high near 97F. The heat index values are forecast to reach as high as 107, making it feel significantly hotter than the actual air temperature.

As evening falls, the heat will not break. Tonight will be partly cloudy with a low around 82F. Temperatures will actually rise to around 85F overnight, keeping the heat index values as high as 107. South winds will continue at 10 to 15 mph. This lack of relief overnight is a key factor in the advisory, as bodies do not have time to cool down.
