Well, we have little dachshunds.
Their legs don't allow them to .
But Mariela, you were just
saying you've got a couple of
labs and they love to swim.
So that's something you
need to pay attention to.
Yeah. You know, that was somethg
that I often saw in Central
Texas was that blue-green algae.
And it's just that time of the .
It's hot outside.
And algae just thrives in this environment.
So make sure to wash the water
before you let the algae.
You got mosquitoes. It just
seems like the summer brings all
the dangers out, right? Yeah.
Including storms in the heat.
And that's what we're talking
about this weekend, right?
Now I am tracking some thunderss
and showing you a wide view of h
Texas because I want to show you
that not everyone is seeing thi.
This is about 20% coverage that we've
talked about all morning long ad
there is currently one severe s.
It is South of Wichita Falls,
north of Archer City.
That's the area that's under the slight
risk and I'll show you what that area is.
But first I do want to take
another look at the storms that
we have that just pushed throug.
Dallas County,
they do extend S into Ellis Couy
and this latest update here just
within the last minute does show
still some moderate to heavy rainfall.
This is along Hwy.
77 S the 287.
If you're familiar with the area now,
this will continue to move SE it will be
out of the area within the next 30 minutes.
So this is moving at a pretty rapid pace,
but whenever that rain is fallig
it is coming down at a heavy
pace and there was report of die
sized hail in South Arlington.
I don't think that this will be
a widespread event.
I think that that's maybe the highest
threat that we'll see is this potential
for small hill and gusty winds s
well as that frequent lightning.
That marginal risk again does
include Dallas Fort Worth.
This is for a low end potential for a
strong severe storm and and what this
means is that we could see a stm
that can produce 60 plus mile pr
winds and maybe some of that small hail.
That's just the environment
that we're in today.
But the higher risk comes in Wie
County towards the Northwest,
that's where the threat is high.
The Panhandle will eventually
develop these thunderstorms that
will move into North Texas if
they hold together long enough.
So this is what it's showing you around 8:00.
We see that cluster of storms
moving between Archer City,
Wichita Falls down even to Grah.
These storms will continue to progress
into the 35 corridor counties.
I'm expecting DFW around 10:00 or 11:00.
This particular model has it
coming in a little sooner,
so between 10:11,
maybe even midnight and these storms,
by the time they make it to this area,
they'll start to already weaken.
That's why we're not under a high risk today.
So this will continue to move e.
Maybe even to the southeast.
Here by midnight you see how tht
really starts to decay pretty q.
And then after that,
our rain chances significantly
lower through the day.
Saturday we're looking pretty d.
We're looking mostly sunny,
but Saturday evening we could see another
cluster of storms across Abilen,
Breckenridge,
Eastland towards the South.
I'm not expecting this
to reach the Metroplex,
but just something to keep in
mind if you are headed in that
direction toward the southwest,
maybe you're heading out to somf
the lakes, So DFW airport right.
Is showing some delays.
Definitely want to make sure to check
your flight times 81 degrees right now.
The heat index still at 87.
Even though we just saw rain in the area,
you can still see that cloud cover overhead.
Still seeing some drizzle from
our downtown Dallas Cam here.
Temperature right now of 81 degs
with the blue sky right there oe
horizon 87 is what it feels lik.
The heat advisory again,
we've talked about this in
the last several days.
That is still in place until 8.
And it does include Hood, Johns,
Ellis County to the South heat
index anywhere between 1:05 up
to about 113 and that's for our
western counties today 94 degre.
This happens around 5:00.
The heat index will be at
about 103104 in the Metroplex,
winds southeast at 10 to 20.
Again that 20% coverage pretty
consistent throughout the day.
We'll see that scattered activiy
and I am expecting a very low
threat for severe weather.
Highs in the mid 90s today,
but once that Ridge of
high pressure moves back.
Those temperatures are climbing.
Upper 90s Saturday.
Limited rain chances 102 on Sun,
and then we're looking at
triple digits next week.
Morning lows in the low 80s.
We'll be back.
