Hey, welcome back.
So it's time for our weather lesson.
Meteorologist Kyle Roberts is here now.
You asked, is is it hot
or has it been cool?
I feel like the answer.
Is kind of tricky.
Yeah, you'd be probably depends on
how you want to judge things so
far this up so far this summer.
Overall, the summer has
been cooler than normal.
May have noticed that not
not so much recently though,
we'll talk about that coming up in
just a second so you know one of
the ways that we measure how hot
a summer is is sometimes by how
many 100 degree days that we have.
So how many 100 degree days
does DFW average per year?
We talked about this a lot,
so if you watch us.
You should know the answer to it.
We average 2020 days a year.
We have a high temperature
of 100 degrees or above.
So what about this summer?
So far to this point in the
summer it's about 9 to 10,
so we're only really halfway through
that summer heat on our way to 20
when it comes to that average now.
This summer.
So far we've only had six 100 degree days.
That's all happened within the
last week and a half or so the
end of July there and yesterday.
Which was the most recent time
we had a 100 degree day?
We just hit 100 degrees before
those storms formed and that was
day #6 for the entire summer,
so a little below normal when it
comes to our 100 degree days so far
this summer and will gladly take that.
By the way,
July as a total as a whole was about a
degree below normal for the entire month.
So when it comes to when you
break this down month by month,
average 100 days per month,
we average about two in June
we average about 7 in July.
But look at August,
we aggravated about 10100 degree
days in July or excuse me in August.
So August.
Definitely our hottest month of the summer,
but as we head to September,
those cold fronts start to become
a little more common.
We only averaged 100 degree day
once we head into September.
So are we done with the triple digits?
Probably not. I think.
Will add a few more to that list
before the month is done here,
but thankfully at least for now we
are below normal and Speaking of low normal,
our temperatures are below normal
outside right now as well.
79 degrees at love field,
lots of delays and problems out
at the local airports yesterday
because of those thunderstorms
today looking a little bit better.
Although I do see a lot of
planes parked there on the.
Tarmac, or at least on the taxiways.
So DFW airport reporting
delays about 30 minutes,
although that's a lot
of planes sitting there,
we don't normally see that many planes,
just kind of sitting there,
so hopefully that's an accurate
description of the delays
and just how it so happens.
There's some planes sitting there,
but hopefully it's not worse
than my graphic shows there
for you outside at the moment.
Not a ton going on.
We've got the cloud cover.
A little cooler temperatures than normal,
maybe a little mist and drizzle some
light showers trying to get going there
or anywhere from DFW off to the east.
And to the South,
through the rest of the day today,
do not expect a repeat of yesterday,
but I do expect some lingering showers
to continue through the noon hour,
maybe into the mid afternoon before
most of this tapers off through the
afternoon and then ended the evening.
Clouds are really going to hang around,
and that's going to hold
down that high temperature.
Your high stay only in the upper 80s.
Remember, yesterday we hit 100 degrees today.
Your highs are only in the 80s,
even if the sun breaks out.
Maybe hitting 90 and a few locations.
So here's what happens.
The rest of the day.
Some spotty showers will be out there.
You can see coverage is not very high.
At any given time,
but a little bit of rain here or there,
5:00 o'clock you see the clouds
slowly clearing from north to South,
maybe a little sunshine before the sun sets,
so later on this evening we
may see a little bit of sun,
but I don't think it'll be enough
to really warm us up your highs
later on today like I just showed
you only in the upper 80s or so,
79 degrees it's after 11:30 on
August 2nd and it's only 79 outside.
I'll gladly take that.
Highs will range from the low to
mid to upper 80s, maybe hitting 90.
If you do see a good deal of sunshine,
but I think a lot of you will be stuck
in the clouds today and so your highs.
Mid to upper 80s for DFW to
the east and the South,
where those clouds are really hold thick.
Your highs may only be in the
low 80s this afternoon and these
below normal temperatures continue
for most of this upcoming week.
90 tomorrow 91 on Wednesday 94.
Thursday 96 Friday.
We are starting to warm back up.
We will be close to normal late week
into next weekend and flirting with
that 100 degree mark as we head into
the following week this time next week.
So that's why I say we'll probably see
some more triple digits before August.
Is over and will be back after this.
