with meteorologist Mario Ruiz.
Mario, I think it's important to
note that this is really some
deadly heat that we're dealing ,
you know, across the state of T.
Yeah, you got to listen to your
body out there. This is no joke,
right? If you are sitting and you stand
up and you feel that Lightheadedness,
that is a sign something as lite
as that something is little les.
Feeling thirsty, that means you're just
not getting enough of that hydration.
So, yeah, just paying attention
to little things like that,
being easy on your.
Yourself taking it easy outside,
it's just it's it's tough out t.
Especially when we're talking about a
heat index anywhere from one O 5 to 110.
That's why the heat advisory is in place and
in some locations excessive heat warnings.
That is where the heat index will be,
over 110.
Now this is true for areas of the big country
and that by the way extends into West TX.
For us.
It's in place until 8:00 PM Tue.
I'm thinking it will get extended though
here in the next several days because
this is what we're expecting 104 Tuesday,
1:06 on Wednesday, Wednesday log
to be the hottest day on that 10 day.
So we are still ramping up on or
temperatures here the next few .
Right now UNT showing 92 degree,
factor in the humidity,
it feels like 104 blue sky over.
There is a little bit of wind out there
and that's just kind of making it feel.
Like a like a blow dryer almost
92 degrees at DFW airport.
Feeling like 106.
The wind is southeast,
they are specifically between 10 and 15.
I I've seen it kind of fluctuate
the humidity still pretty eleva.
Humidity is the reason why the heat index
is so different from the actual temperature.
When this number, the dew pointr
measure of moisture goes down a bit more,
which I'm expecting it to do second-half
of the week the heat index will be closer.
To the actual temperature,
so there won't be such a big
difference between them.
Either way, it's still going toe
hot already at 96 in Fort Worth,
92 for Decatur, 97 for Mineral Wells,
and in Breckenridge are eastern
locations looking at mid to upper 80s.
Factor in that humidity though,
it feels like.
At 100 and Terrell,
103 in Greenville, 107 in Fort Worth,
104 in Mineral Wells and about
100 and Breckenridge.
So these are kind of going
to be all over the place,
but generally anywhere between
100 to about 110 is what we're
expecting through the afternoon,
your day planner showing to you6
degrees by noon, 98 degrees by .
And I'm thinking close to about
103 for this afternoon,
specifically at DFW Airport.
If you're in Fort Worth,
closer to about 104103 for Dalls
104 in Denton.
The more W you are,
the likelier you are to get clor
to about 106107 because the
area is ever so slightly drier,
the upper 90s across our eastern counties.
But it doesn't matter where you,
it'll still feel like the triple
digits area wide today, so.
Yes,
dangerous heat.
Make sure to listen to those
warning signs.
And here's what's going on.
It's it's very typical summertie
pattern where we have this Ridge
of high pressure that strengthes
and settles over North Texas.
So that's going to happen over e
course of the next several days.
And this is what's going
to limit any rain chances.
It's what we call a heat Dome.
And this is what brings us the ,
the dry, the sunny days.
But this looks like it weakens slightly
over the weekend and that's what's going
to bring us a small rain potent.
And it's also going to drop
our highs into the 90s,
what you see here on Saturday
versus the triple digits that we
expecting here the next several days.
So again.
We are expecting the climb in or
temperature to 106 on Wednesday,
1:05 on Thursday.
I think the heat index will be
close to about 1:05 that day.
Remember I told you about the te
measure of moisture, the lower it is.
The closer the heat index will
be to the actual temperature.
Believe it or not,
we're not breaking any records
this week it it looks like it.
But if you pay close attention,
records are closer to one 12113 and we
won't get close to that thankfu.
And we are expecting some scattd
storm chances this weekend throh
4th of July holiday, we'll be b.
