A couple more days of dangerous heat to get thru, before we return to our regular August heat.
An Extreme Heat Warning continues today thru 7p. Actual air temperatures will make a run at 100°, with heat index values peaking near 112°. Please, continue to take it easy in this heat. If you have to be outdoors for long periods of time, stay hydrated and take frequent breaks. *Never* leave a child or pet unaccompanied in a vehicle for any amount of time.
Yeah, it’s summer, but this abnormally hot for this time of year.
Our average high is 88°, which we passed at 9a this morning.
We’re on our way to an actual air temperature of near 100°, with heat index values peaking near 110-112°.
Summer continues to slap us in the face, reminding us that it’s not Fall yet.
Our weather thru Monday will be a copy + paste.
Our Heat Advisory has been upgraded to an Extreme Heat Warning that continues thru Sunday evening.
If you thought yesterday was hot, it can always get worse – and it will.
Our temperature + dewpoint combo will remain steady thru Monday.
Actual air temperatures in the upper 90s, nearing 100°, with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. This will send heat index values near 110° each afternoon.
The main headline for this week continues to be the gross, dangerously hot temperature + dewpoint combination.
High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 90s, nearing 100°. With dewpoints in the low to mid 70s, heat index values will be in the 105-109° range. Our Heat Advisory continues thru Friday evening and will likely be extended into this weekend.
The main headline over the next week or so will be the brutal heat. We also have some conditional storm threats to deal with, but I’ll start off with the heat.
Being outdoors for any period of time over the next…week, will not be much fun.
The good news is that models have backed off on our rain chances this week. We’ve seen more than enough of that, so I am all for a break.
The bad news is that in return to the lower rain chances, this will allow for our heat to turn up a few notches.
Thankfully, rain chances will be on the lower end of things, around 10-15%, thru Tuesday. We are good on rain.
Still can’t rule out a stray shower/storm during the afternoon/early evening hours, but I do think winning Wattery tickets will be few and far between.
I could copy and paste yesterday’s blog – and it would be just fine. I won’t – but I could.
Yesterday ended up being a tad more eventful than expected, but that’s the name of the game.
Happy Friday! Another day of playing the Wattery (water + lottery) while dealing with the summer heat.
Highs get into the mid 90s, with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. Not a great combo, sending heat index values around 100°.
