Other thing they didn't mention,
their bright colored
swimsuits might also help.
If you're wearing a swimsuit tht
matches the color of the bottom of the
pole or the water can be hard to tell.
And as we just heard,
you don't always see someone being real
demonstrative if they're strugg,
right? I've noticed that,
you know there are some kids
that you have like the bright
orange, the neon pink's,
those are really good colors.
To wear to a pool.
And this also and we talked abot
dehydration. When you're dehydr,
you cramp and if you're in the
water and you start cramping,
you can really get into
dangerous situations there.
Something to remember this July 4th holiday,
especially if you're drinking at all.
Make sure you're adding a lot
of water in there as well.
Yeah, a lot of electrolytes,
hydrate appropriately and take breaks.
It's just it's going to be plain
hot out there, today included.
This weekend included.
We do have that excessive heat
warning today and that's in plae
until 8:00 this evening and thet
gets replaced for the heat advi.
That does include the Metroplex,
what that means for you.
It's not very different.
It's just two levels.
The heat warning that we have in
place today is for heat index
values between 1:10 to 1:15.
The heat advisories for heat
index between 1:05 to 1:10.
It's not a big difference.
It's still dangerous heat today and tomorrow.
Just take that into considerati.
When you are spending some time outside
and it's already warming up quick 92 degrees,
that's close to the daytime high temperature.
That's normal for this time of the year.
It's not even noon yet.
It feels like 98 degrees right
now in Fort Worth.
At DFW Airport 90, feeling like.
Our humidity is still somewhat elevated in
comparison to where it was the last few days.
There's a huge temperature
difference across North Texas.
Look at those 99 degrees in Gra.
98 in Breckenridge.
Compare that to the 92 in Fort Worth,
88 in Dallas and 87 in Tyler.
The reason there's such a big difference
is because of the level of humi.
The more W you go,
the drier the air is and the
faster temperatures climb.
Whenever there's higher humidit,
temperatures are going to slow
down when they're warming up.
That's why there's such a big
difference this afternoon.
We will see a big difference in our high
temperatures as well Today though at DFW.
Specifically,
I'm thinking we still climb inte
triple digits even more than yesterday,
yesterday's high 102 officially making
it the hottest day of the year.
I think today has the potential
to reach 104 around 5:00 as our
air is slightly drier going into
the afternoon hours.
Wind southwest at 10 to 20.
That southwest wind helps bring
in some of that slightly drier
air into the area as well.
And again,
that's where we find our highest
temperatures West of DFW106 and Graham.
Breckenridge 108 for Mineral
Wells and in Decatur,
106 in Detton 105 in Fort Worth,
104 in Dallas and triple digits still
extending across our eastern counties.
This is still dangerous heat.
Definitely want to make sure to
hydrate appropriately the heat x
anywhere between 1:10 to 1:15.
We said it several times.
It's going to be that dangerous
kind of heat today,
and it's because of this Ridge
of high pressure.
We talked about this in the last half hour,
but this is the heat Dome that
you've probably heard quite a
bit by now on social media.
What it means is high pressure
that is sinking.
And sinking air compresses as it drops,
and that's what's going to
limit storm development.
And it traps heat at the surfac.
That's what it's doing not just in Texas,
but across Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Louisiana, portions of the Gulf states.
A lot of states have those
heat alerts in place.
What's going to happen is that s
actually does shift to the east,
but before that happens,
hot, humid, rain free for.
Of the next few days until
about Friday and then we're
going to see some slight relief.
There's this front that comes in
slides in early next week and ts
what actually brings us our stom
potential and it's not a high o,
only about 20% coverage as of n.
We'll adjust it here in the next few days,
but the highs as a result will
stay in the mid 90s and as of n,
it does look like we could get e
above normal precip now what that means?
It's not a lot.
This time of the year is
generally pretty dry for us,
so above normal is not very much rain,
but still there's that ring potential
and it keeps us in the mid 90s
through middle parts of next we,
a much welcome sight.
