Alright Mario, we're back in this
thing talking about this weather again,
and it's really just more of the same.
You kind of alluded to this early on
saying we just are dealing with the
same old same old thing day after day.
The heat is still here to stick
around. It's here to stick around.
We're stuck in this pattern
and it's it's here to stay.
We see a little relief this
weekend for a few of us,
but then next week it's looking
like a hot one again. Yeah, yeah,
and here's what we're dealing with today.
A heat advisory is in place and
this does include the Metroplex
deterrent Dallas Denton.
And Collin County all included in this
until 9:00 this evening for temperatures
of 103 plus or a heat index up to 105.
So the last several days we
have had that triple digit heat.
We're just kind of stuck in this pattern.
31 triple digit heat days so far today
would be #32 and so far it's considered
the second warmest July on record.
Not only are we dealing with the hot weather,
we're also dealing with the dry weather.
The last measurable rainfall at DFW,
specifically June 3rd,
the streak of dry days is 53.
Today would be #54 and so far we're on
the sixth longest streak of dry days.
The top in making it 84 days and
this was back in the year 2000.
Right now it's hot out there.
It already is.
Let's call it warm compared
to what it's going to be.
This afternoon.
92 degrees right now feeling like 94.
The wind is out of the South.
So generally what we have been seeing
is dry weather during the afternoon.
The lower humidity during
the afternoon hours.
As our air gets mixed a little bit better
and it does make for higher fire conditions.
So right now it's in the mid 90s,
but later today we're going to
see the triple digits that starts
at three about 100 degrees,
103 by 5 and 100 degrees by 7.
So it's a prolonged period of hot weather.
Couple that with.
The ongoing drought,
the southerly breeze that we've
got going on and that calls for
an elevated fire danger.
Just make sure that you're avoiding
anything that could lead to sparks.
That does include parking over tall grass.
Lawn care that you may end up,
you know,
hitting something that's metal.
Just check for debris on
your lawns before you mow.
Temperature does make it to about
104 in Fort Worth 103 in Denton.
104 in Decatur.
About 105 and Mineral Wells.
So we'll have this area of high
pressure scooting off towards the east,
and as that happens it's going to
allow for this front to move South.
That high though doesn't look like
it's going to move as Far East enough
to allow this cold front to make
it all the way through North Texas.
Let me show you what I mean by
that is this Friday around 7:00.
This is where we could see our relief so
that front is going to approach it along.
That front is where we see rain that.
Front looks to get stuck right
around the Red River at least,
so it's what models are indicating for now,
and that's what we'll see the focal
point for showers and thunderstorms
Friday evening into Saturday,
so that front then stalls right
around the Red River and right there
is where we're expecting a focal
point for showers and thunderstorms.
Now a few of those outflows
can make it into North Texas.
That means windy weather,
and that also means the
potential for some rain.
Most of us will stay dry.
Coverage is starting to look.
Minimal for this weekend,
but the added cloud cover on Saturday
could keep us in the double digits.
We are expecting some of this cloud
cover to linger through Sunday but
then rain chances dry up for next week.
So our rainfall forecast is looking
a little grim because that front
stalls to the north trace to 1/4
inch along the Red River and north.
Hopefully we see that front linger a
little bit more to the South and if that
happens our rain totals will go up a tad.
Now temperatures those are going
to stay elevated on average
for this time of the year.
97 is the high will be trending just
above that for the next 10 days.
And that means triple digits
are going to be the majority of
our 10 day forecast here.
Not just this week,
but next week as well.
