This is what's we're what we're expecting.
Another decaying complex of storms way out in
the Panhandle could bring some of our area,
some thunderstorms tonight.
Some of those could bring some quarter
sized hail or 60 mile per hour winds.
It's not going to be a big
severe weather night and most of
you won't see a drop of rain.
So let's at least take a moment
to appreciate that it's only 89.
At DFW, it's a nice break.
I want you to enjoy it while you can.
It's still humid, so it feels like 97,
but things are about to heat up.
Big time. DFW right now.
Quiet all in the Panhandle.
Canadian out in the Panhandle,
I was going to say off and out.
So Canadian, there you go.
Thunderstorms in the Eastern Panhandle of
Texas, These will move to the southeast.
As they do, they'll generally weaken.
However, can't rule out that one pulses up,
especially in western portions
of North Texas.
For some quarter sized hail or
some 60 mile per hour wind gust,
that'd be late tonight. Overnight.
That's what we're expecting.
This is a really a low chance.
Then tomorrow we'll watch
again the same story.
More thunderstorms blow up out West.
Some of those will make
a run for North Texas.
Most of them will collapse.
However,
you can't roll out that chance that
one or two of them make it in and
they could be strong to severe.
Same thing Saturday night,
though it does look like it's
going to stay well to the West.
Now let's move on to the heat
and I want to start with the.
The dew points which we This
is our muggy meter.
This is the true measure of moisture
in the air that determines how humid
and uncomfortable it is outside.
This is a very good news and
a very bad news scenario.
So let me let me explain here.
When the dew points are very high,
when the moisture in the atmosphere is high,
it's really difficult to heat up a lot.
That can still get hot obviously,
but it's hard to get to 100 a hundred 102.
The moisture in the air makes it
very difficult for the air to heat.
And here's what's expected tomorrow.
Still in the uncomfortable category.
Saturday.
Still in the uncomfortable category
with dew points in the low 70s.
Watch here Sunday,
some drier air tries to move in.
When I say dryer, I mean relatively drier.
So still sticky,
but not as uncomfortable as it has been.
Monday, drier air pulls in again.
We'll still have that idea sticky
to uncomfortable air by Tuesday.
Look at that. Even drier air moves in.
So the dew points are starting to
lower Tuesday and then even Wednesday.
Yeah, low 60s.
So as the dew points go down,
unfortunately that allows the air
to heat up a lot more efficiently.
So there's a balance here.
So well, the the humidity is higher.
It's highs in the middle and upper 90s.
When the humidity drops,
the high temperature goes up to 101.
Oh, two, 103. But I want you to
look at the heat index values.
OK, so you have 94 tomorrow, right,
With the heat index of 106 because the
high humidity, but look at Monday.
101, but the heat index is 105103 Tuesday,
but the heat index is also 106.
So that's the big difference.
That's the difference maker with humidity.
You go from a 94 degree high,
but it's going to feel like 106 Friday
to a 103 degree high on Tuesday,
but it's going to feel like 106.
So with that being said,
tomorrow because of the high
humidity and the high heat,
we will have heat index values
up to 113 across parts.
I saw that.
Just listen, I might be on live TV right now,
but I saw that over there just
taking pictures of me, 113,
Johnson and Ellis County,
Hood County, Somerville County.
So basically areas South of the Dallas
Fort Worth area that's through tomorrow.
Heat index values again up to 113.
So please keep that in mind.
Also a quick look at the tropics.
These are not expected to impact the
US However, if you have travel plans,
first of all good for you.
Second of all,
if you're going to the Lesser Antilles,
we have Tropical Storm Brett right here.
This is going to be moving West.
Into the Caribbean it's expected to stay
tropical storm strengthen kind of die
down as it encounters a lot of wind shear.
Then we have tropical depression for
so the Atlantic starting to heat up.
Here it is hurricane season so
no surprise here to see things
start to get active tonight.
76 isolated thunderstorms warm and
very muggy tomorrow 94 isolated
thunderstorms warm and still humid.
SE winds 10 to 20 There's the next
10 days and there are the high
temperatures in the triple digits.
101 Monday 103 Tuesday.
Wednesday, 104, so that's the,
you know, that's the trade off,
you lower the humidity,
you bring the heat up.
So that's just the way it goes here.
But that's just kind of that true
Texas summer in the 10 day forecast.
