W A9 Meteorologist Hopper shut.
Well, the heat advisory has
been expanded for Thursday.
Check out just how much of
the lower 48 it is is hot.
I mean, we're talking about
triple digits Dallas Little Rock,
almost 100 in Saint Louis,
and we're going to be 97 on Thursday 93 as
far north as Boston now across the pond.
It's much better in Europe.
The heat has subsided somewhat.
Only 78 in London, 82 in Paris,
still hot in Madrid.
103 and still hot in Rome 95.
But that's not record setting, yeah?
Rome OK, high temperatures for us
again 97 on Thursday 93 in Boston and
then by Friday a little less humid.
We drop a degree 96,
but here's the heat is still
concentrated Dallas, Little Rock,
Kansas City and Saint Louis near 100 / 100,
and then by the time we get
to Saturday now we're 98.
Look at the temps, one O 4 in Saint Louis.
Still 102 Dallas and then by
Sunday I think Sunday is going
to probably be even hotter 99.
For us 99 in Saint Louis still triple
digits Dallas and also a Little Rock.
So we're going to get hot and really,
we've already had our three
days of 90 degree or higher,
which is a quote heat wave.
And that was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
That's our first heat wave
so far this season.
Kind of crazy and we've not
hit 100 since 2016, OK?
Some reminders,
a check on the elderly
and remember your pets.
Your pets need a bunch of water too,
and a place to get cool.
OK, now pull the shades or curtains
on the east side in the morning,
on the West side.
In the afternoon.
It really does help exercise in the
morning and by morning we mean early morning.
5:00 AM to 9:00 AM because by the
time we get to 9:00 or 10:00 o'clock,
heat index is 90 degrees or higher,
all right.
Here's a slightly expanded heat
advisory now includes Fairfax County
and Prince William County and the I-95
corridor South to Fredericksburg.
Always included our friends in
Prince George's County and also into
Southern Maryland goes into effect.
11:00 AM on Thursday and until
8:00 o'clock on Thursday night.
OK,
so let's talk about this heat
index 103 on Thursday.
We get a break Friday and Saturday in
terms of the Heat index notice that's
lower than the actual temperature.
That means we have a break
in terms of humidity,
but we pop back to 102 on Sunday.
A little more humid on Sunday,
so we got some pretty serious
heat to coming our way.
Let's talk about the temperature
that you know we're looking
at 97 tomorrow downtown,
but even 95 and Frederick even
94 in Fredericksburg and even
along the I-81 corridor,
we're still 92 in Hagerstown and
Martinsburg in 90 in Winchester.
So let's graph it out.
Here we go.
It's going to be 80 before you
know it downtown on Thursday.
We think it'll be more in
the upper 90s by two o'clock.
There's a shower or thunderstorm here.
Four o'clock.
6:00 o'clock. Best chance.
Will actually be just east of DC.
The cold front is gonna go
through actually on Thursday,
which will lower our humidity,
not do much for our temperatures.
Please give us a little bit of a break,
so here's what your body feels on Thursday,
but nine o'clock.
Boom, it feels like it's 90 already,
which is why we say that's kind of
the cut off time to exercise by three
o'clock one O 2 in DC-100 in Frederick,
103 in Fredericksburg.
Again this is the heat index,
and then by 8:39 o'clock it
still feels like it's 93.
Downtown still feels like it's
87 as far north as Hagerstown,
so a little along the toasty
side on the dangerous side,
which is why we've actually
issued a yellow weather alert.
It's for heat, not for storms,
so upper 90s to mid 90s on Thursday.
Back to the mid 90s on Friday.
And then we're flirting with 100
on Saturday and Sunday and then
back to the low 90s on Monday.
Monday's going to feel pretty
nice now that set our average high
is 90 so it's not crazy off 90.
All right, I'm going to break the heat.
Well, let's see Thursday's day 45678.
So we have 8 consecutive days, 90 or higher.
We might break it Tuesday if we don't,
we're gonna go 9101112 days 90
or higher and then next Friday
and Saturday we start to close
out the month of July.
Temperatures still near 90.
But that's that's average.
So let's review a little bit.
Again, take frequent breaks if you
have to be outside on Thursday.
Some storms that mainly mainly
east very hot again Friday,
but a little bit less humid.
More tolerable and then hot again.
Saturday we keep an isolated
storm in on Saturday, but really,
I think Friday and Saturday will be dry.
Would not plan around anything like that.
So 6:00 o'clock in the morning
we're already 78 in DC.
A few clouds, already 84 by 8:30.
Those are not heat indices,
and then by 1:00 o'clock see the storms,
Prince George's County
down toward Fredericksburg.
Notice the arrows are already wet
northwesterly by 5:00 o'clock.
Big Storm possible in Prince Georges County.
So essentially, if you're West of 95,
I don't think you're going to have.
A A thunderstorm on Thursday
with the front Thursday night,
maybe a little better temperatures.
You know mid 70s to upper 70s by
10:00 or 11:00 o'clock at night.
So here we go.
Yellow weather alert Thursday for heat,
not for storms, less humid,
still hot on Friday. Very hot Saturday.
Probably good enough for another
yellow weather alert for heat,
not for storms,
some storms Sunday. Some of
those that develop could be hefty.
Highs near 100 more storms on Monday.
Not quite as hot. Showers and
storms Tuesday and Wednesday,
and by then temperatures either side of 90.
