there are new concerns about the
extreme heat bearing down on
much of the country. Heat alerts
are posted from washington to
New Mexico and from to right
here in. In the north. The whole
difference out of concerns. More
rain for, the northeast and
tornadoes hitting the Chicago
area. Take a look. At least five
confirmed tornadoes hit Chicago
area last night, damaging
several homes. All the city’s
airports facing ground stops
shows hundreds of people taking
shelter in the concourse at
O’Hare Airport. This video from
a traveler inside the Midway
Airport. Oh, my God. Showing a
twister taking shape just past
the runways. Those storms
shifting east overnight. People
from Vermont have been racing to
clean up from the week’s
disastrous before more rains
today. Thousands of people lost
homes and businesses. Recovery
could take years, not decades.
And storms are in the forecast
for the next days with four more
inches of rain possible may not
be over with rain in the
forecast. And nowhere for it to
go. We could see waters again.
Meanwhile Forecasters are
warning of dire consequences
from the extreme heat across
south and west. Triple digit
temperatures will stretch from
Florida to, California today.
Phoenix will mark its 14th
consecutive day of 110 degrees
or above. Heat related illnesses
nationwide side had doubled in
the last month. Places include
Miami Dade County, Los Angeles
and Phoenix have recently
appointed chief heat officers. A
city who does everything from
establishing cooling centers
install more AC in public
housing and more trees to cool
the streets. Now the mayor of
Phoenix is calling on the Biden
administration to a federal heat
officer. One possible tool to
fight climate change paint.
Scientists at Purdue have
created a white paint that says
so. They say it could reduce
surface temperature on a roof by
up to 19 degrees by reflecting
8% of its sun rays. It be
available by next year. That’ll
be something interesting. I
mean, we got to whatever we can
to help us that we can’t tell
Mother Nature to give us cooler
air dries out or comfortable
conditions because she doesn’t
listen. But now that we’re
seeing the reality of what’s
happening each and every day,
all we can do is be prepared for
it. So, like today, just like
every day since, July 4th, we
will be seeing and heat indices
anywhere, 105 to 110 degrees for
2 hours or longer. So you know
what to do. Prepare yourself,
prepare your family and make
sure, you’re taking care of
anyone in the elderly. Timing
They need to make sure they’re
not outside because the timing
of our heat and humidity be as
soon as you walk out the door
right now. Typically, I would
say you have plenty time in the
morning hours. But even for
yourself and anybody who’s,
elderly, maybe thinking they can
get outside to do some stuff, we
are already feeling temperatures
in the nineties and triple
digits. So that leads to my next
comment. Yesterday we had a high
of 97 degrees. We broke the
record of 95 set back in 1981.
We also broke the at marathon
with a high of 98. The record
was 95 temperatures yesterday
morning were slightly by about
one or two degrees cooler than
what we’re waking up this
morning. So unfortunately, with
that heat and humidity already
here, we could deal with record
highs again in Miami and
possibly into Key West. And a
lot of you are asking, is this
no, this is not typical. This is
unusual for us even just from
year to year. Last year, we
didn’t set many records through
this couple of weeks of the
month of July. And noticing that
got temperatures below average
year. Well unfortunately when
you look at my seven day
forecast, there’s nothing below
average our forecast. We’ve got
high staying nineties for the
next 7 to 10 days. Now Here’s
what I’m talking about. This is
why typically I would say get
out there and do errands early,
but we’re already at 86 degrees
in Miami, 87. Key West, 85. For
Lauderdale, relative humidity,
80, 90. It already feels the
nineties and triple digits. So
you need to start hydrating if
do need to be outdoors again,
please check on elderly and
please make sure you’re taking
care of your pets too. As for
rain, I’m introducing a better
of showers today in the forecast
will be our only relief from the
heat. But the storms will be
delayed so we have all day to
heat up before the storms do
roll in later this afternoon.
Maybe evening commute and into
the evening. Not the case for
our friends across arkansas.
They’re dealing with severe
weather this morning. For us
it’s all about high pressure
continuing to dominate hot humid
conditions will help for some
scattered storms today and going
into small but again not a
weekend washout. But at least
we’ll see rainfall in our
