OK, We going to be inside.
I was about to say that.
So good to hear, So good to hear. Yes.
As a first generation college student myself,
I can tell you those resources are priceless.
So thank you so much for the wok
you're doing in our community.
We'd love to see that. OK.
So we are taking a look at just
the fire danger that we have.
We spoke about it at the top of the hour.
We have two fires actually
that are in the area.
But one, is it causing a bit more of an
issue when we're talking about smoke plume?
And this is,
I want to say this is forecast smoke plume.
So this is from the Plumb fire
and that is 30% contained,
300 acres burn.
But you can see that if that sme
plume does become dense enough,
it does eventually push over Jon
County into Tarrant County and o
folks in Parker County to be one
lookout 75% contained now that e
pipeline fire has burned 372 ac.
And just very quickly wanted
to mention the air quality.
At the moment it is moderate
across the Metroplex.
That's just one step below good air quality.
So if you have respiratory issues you
may want to limit your time out.
You may even notice a haze in the horizon.
So our dangerous heat alerts continue.
Deton portions of North Texas
included in this like Deton Dal,
Tarrant County,
Johnson County,
Ellis County included in this
heat advisory that's going to be
in place through the day today.
We could very well see this get extended,
but it's for heat index values up to 108.
And of course we've been in this
long streak of triple digit hea.
This is our third.
We've had three consecutive,
but today likely our 4th consece
because we didn't see one over the weekend.
But yesterday was our eighteenth
triple digit heat day of 2023 ae
had about 32 at this point last year.
So it's not as hot as last year,
but certainly a hot summer that we've
had with above normal temperatures right now.
Fair Park reporting about 91 degrees,
the heat index is about 95.
So we're still talking about th.
It's slight when you compare ito
last week when we had the really high
humidity and the heat index vals
that were quite a bit different
from the actual temperature.
Not the case this time around, but still.
Dangerous heat out there.
93 at DFW, but it feels like 96.
Winds are out of the southwest
at about 10 mph.
That southwest wind,
it's what's bringing in the sliy
drier air versus the very humid
air that we had last week. 103.
The high in Fort Worth 102 and Denton.
101 for Mckenney and in Dallas s
well as Granbury, Mineral Wells,
Breckenridge, widespread triple digit heat.
If you're West of the I-35
corridor north of Interstate 20,
a few locations could stay
in the upper 90s east
of DFW. And this has to do with
the slightly higher humidity.
It allows the temperatures
to warm a little bit slower
because of that high humidity.
OK, so a few record a consecutive heat days.
Phoenix has picked up it's
27th, 110 degree plus days,
so every single day this month
they've been at 1:10 or higher.
El Paso officially has 41 days,
consecutive days where they
have raised the triple digits.
The previous record by the way r
them was 18 days less than this.
So that's quite significant.
The heat wave has now really expanded
to include a big portion of the
planes and the Midwest with excessive
heat warnings and heat advisoris
extending anywhere from Nebrask,
Minneapolis,
even Illinois towards the Ohio Valley,
West Virginia, all included in .
And it has to do with where that
Ridge of high pressure is going.
Right now it's looking like it's going to
continue to really bring in that high heat,
not just for Texas,
not just for the Southeast,
but it's expanding an area.
And look at that.
I'm going to going to stop the clock here
on Tuesday because Tuesday kind of settles
over Texas before moving to the Southeast.
And because of that look at what it does to
our temperatures between Sunday and Tuesday.
We're looking at 104,
105,
so definitely hotter than today.
We looked like we could see a
little bit of a break as we head
towards the end of next week,
but as of now just dangerous hen
store for the next 10 days to S.
