The AccuWeather RealFeel(tm) temperature is calculated using a variety ofparameters including temperature, humidity, wind and cloud cover. Factoring inall this information gives a better indication of the level of discomfort.Naturally a hot, steamy day is going to feel worse when the sun is beating downand there is hardly any wind, than when it is partly cloudy and breezy.

Friday will be hot and oppressive through the South with temperatures mostly inthe 90s. Western Texas will be the hottest with highs in the lower 100s, butthere the humidity won't be quite as bad.
