Let's talk weathers.
Get to meteorologist Mariello Ruiz here.
We were talking about those
flight delays and stuff.
I mean, I wish I could escape
and go somewhere cold for
a little bit because it is.
It's really hot out there.
Yeah, I'm sure you're not the only one thing.
The A/C is struggling too. Yeah,
my husband actually just said it.
I think yesterday or this morning.
It all rinsed together for me because,
like, our A/C is struggling to keep up.
And yeah, it truly is whenever you get
temperatures like this humidity like we have.
And that's why the excessive
heat warning has been extended.
Clear until Wednesday evening,
and depending on how things play out,
we could see this extended another day.
But even if it's not,
you want to take those heat precautions
seriously the rest of the week.
The heat index, by the way,
expected to be between 110 to 120.
And this heat excessive heat warning
is in place for all of more Texas.
And it's because of that dangerous heat.
OK, so I'm going to take you around a few
portions of North Texas Fair Park right now,
84 degrees.
The heat index though, is 95.
That's how big of a difference
humidity can make whenever it comes
to the feels like temperature.
And we're already seeing some of that
cloud cover clearing over Fair Park there.
Over downtown Dallas now Cedar
Park still holding on to a little
cloud cover but I do see some blue
peeking through temperature there 85.
The heat index and 93 Fort Worth.
You can still see some of the cloud
cover but the temperature of 88 but
it feels like 100 degrees already
that's a 12 degree difference
that the humidity is making.
And across Weatherford temperature of 88.
The heat index of 98.
I wanted to show you Weatherford
because it is one of those
cameras that we have that's.
More W than anything else that we have
and you can see the blue sky overhead,
that's the clearing that we're seeing
and the clearing makes a big difference.
We started out with some cloud cover this
morning but temperatures are already
climbing wherever we see the clearing
happen 1st and where air is slightly drier,
which is our western counties,
so Breckenridge right now at 9592 and Graham.
It's a little warmer anywhere West of
the Metroplex because of the slightly
lower humidity anywhere east of DFW.
We're looking at the upper 80s close to about
90 degrees right now in Sulphur Springs,
maybe the exception there,
but look at our feels like
or the heat index right now,
100 in Fort Worth like we mentioned,
but Graham 101101 in Albany and these
are numbers that are just starting.
It's not even noon yet.
So throughout the afternoon we're going to
see this increase until about 3-4 in the
afternoon when we see the peak heating.
And those numbers are going to drop slightly,
but it's that prolonged period
of time that we're spending in
the triple digit to heat index,
which is why that excessive
heat warning is in place.
Basically here are forecast
high temperatures for today.
I'm expecting about 100 degrees in Dallas,
about one O 1 in Fort Worth and in Denton
McKinney is going to be right on that line.
We could very well see
that century mark today.
But the heat index again is what's going
to be well into the triple digits.
So we did see some cloud cover,
some rain overnight,
but we are already seeing that.
Really thin out and I'm not
expecting much in the way of
rain today or tomorrow morning.
It looks like we're seeing some
weakening in that Ridge of high
pressure that's bringing in that heat.
And because of that,
we could see some activity come
back in the form of rain and this
happening sometime on Wednesday.
Right now it looks like we'll see
some scattered storms maybe along our
western counties Wednesday evening.
This is showing you around 7:00.
I'm going to take you Wednesday night
into Thursday morning though because I
think we can see a bit more activity.
Anywhere West of the Metroplex.
This is not going to be widespread,
but I think it'll be enough to
kind of dampen some of that heat
that we have been dealing with.
Of course it is the tropical
season as well and we are talking
about Tropical Storm Brett still
in the Atlantic and another area
has about 80% chance of formation.
Now Tropical Storm Brett right now
has Max sustained winds of a 40
mph moving W at 21 mph and it is
looking like it's going to make
it into the Caribbean.
As we approach the late week,
it does not look like we're going to
see it strengthened to category one.
But of course,
yesterday the forecast did call for it.
So definitely going to be watching
that over the next several days
while I we watch this, the heat.
OK.
So that cooldown,
I was talking about 94 degrees.
Cleo Wednesday, excuse me, Thursday,
Friday, yes, ma'am.
After spending a day in the triple digits,
I'm calling
that a cooldown. Thanks
everybody. I'll thank you.
