In Merkel and, more broadly, across the state of Texas:
The evening will feature a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures staying very hot, ranging from 95 to 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Winds will be moderate, coming from the southeast at up to 17 mph, with gusts reaching 24 mph. No rain is expected during the next few hours, so the dry conditions will persist through the evening. It’s a warm night, and anyone planning outdoor activities should take precautions against the heat and stay hydrated. The wind may bring some relief, but it is unlikely to significantly lower temperatures overnight. Overall, the weather remains dry and warm into the early night hours.
