98 degrees Fort Worth feels like 104.
It's humid outside.
It's partly cloudy too, there in Fort
Worth and you look at the high today,
97 was the the high today.
The normal is 94.
So that's, you know, it's hot.
But it is July.
I want to say that over and over again
because it's not shocking that it 97 is hot,
but that's only three degrees warmer than
the normal or hotter than the normal.
So we're not that far off 96 degrees.
The temp now winds are
variable at 7 miles an hour,
feels like 103.
Out at DFW,
here are the thunderstorms that earlier
today in the morning and early afternoon
moved into North Texas from Fann
County down into parts of Collin County,
Rockwall and Kaufman,
and it kind of fizzled out ther.
We have a couple more
thunderstorms trying to pop up.
In fact,
I don't think I saw one right
there trying to come up.
Yep, just West of Tarrant
County into Parker County.
So as we go through the next few hours,
not we're not done with the rain chance.
We could still pop up a couple f
thunderstorms through the early evening.
For the sunsets,
once the sun goes away then the
thunderstorm chances will fizzle out.
So overnight tonight looks dry,
but next several hours there is
that chance for a couple of popp
thunderstorms here in North Texas tomorrow.
Looks dry though.
Looks sunny as the heat
Dome starts to move back.
So the the difference between te
last one and this one, this one,
looks like it's going to settlen
a little bit farther to the Wes.
A little bit closer to areas like New Mexico,
Arizona,
that's where it's going to get extremely hot,
115 to close to 120 degrees
for highs in Phoenix next week.
That is some serious serious
heat here in North Texas.
It is going to get hot,
but nothing that we haven't see.
Highs are going to go back to the upper 90s,
the triple digits.
Thunderstorm chances remain min.
However,
because of the positioning of this Ridge,
this high pressure will get
stuck in northwest flow so.
On some of these days we'll have
these complexes of thunderstorms
that could make their way into
North Texas and you'll see those
rain chances in the 10 day.
But as we go through the next several days,
highs will be above normal.
The normal is 95,
but not that much higher than normal.
97.
Friday 98 Saturday,
Sunday 97100 degrees on Monday.
High humidity means it's going o
feel like one O 5 to 110 across North
Texas for the beginning of next
week and the end of this weeken.
So. It's July tonight.
Isolated thunderstorms will
come to an end later tonight.
It's breezy, warm and muggy.
77. Tomorrow, 97.
Sunshine, breezy, hot and humid.
S winds 10 to 20.
So here's the next 10 days.
Again,
it's going to be very hot but
not record-breaking.
Not anything that we're not
used to here in North Texas.
98 Tuesday, 100 degrees.
Next Wednesday, 101 Thursday.
That looks like we'll just
kind of hover in upper 90s,
close to 100 degrees.
Let's wrap up the 10 day forecat
all right, terrible way to
wrap it up there. But you know,
we're talking more about heat, Jesse,
because it's on the minds of a lot of folks.
Experts saying that climate
change is making heat waves more
common and more powerful.
And in today's Health Minute,
Mandy Gaither has more on what extreme
temperatures can do to your body
and your mind and how to stay s.
It's the deadliest
weather event in the US Every y,
the heat causes more than 700
deaths on average and more than
67,000 emergency room visits.
It doesn't take much.
It can be an hour or two.
That can lead to the cells and
tissues of the body starting to
feel the effect of it, Dr. I
and Sin with Mayo Clinic says
in the heat, your body tries
to cool off in several ways.
Temperature is extremely high.
It becomes harder for your
body to cool itself down.
The most serious heat related
illness is heat stroke.
That is when you start having confusion,
delirium as we call it,
as well as loss of consciousness
and more severe brain injury as
a result of the effects of heat,
Sen says. When that happens,
it can hurt not only the brain,
but other organs like the heart,
lungs and kidneys as well.
It's almost an inflammation
that gets created.
There is destruction of protein,
the membranes of the cells,
and that leads to cell death.
To keep your body safe in the h,
stay hydrated with water,
avoiding sugary beverages
which can add to dehydration.
Stay cool in an air conditioned
area and wear lightweight,
light colored, loose fitting clothes.
Since says those who are most
vulnerable to the heat should avoid it
if there's any cause of concern,
Definitely seeking Healthcare is important.
