Tune in for a comprehensive weather briefing that you won't want to miss.Here's more!Dangerous and record-breaking heat will continue for much of the Westthrough Saturday, while sizzling temperatures will also begin to buildacross portions of the central and eastern U.S.......Showers and storms will continue along portions of the East Coast fromthe Carolinas to the New England, with flash flooding possible......Several rounds of thunderstorms will bring the threat of large hail anddamaging winds to the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest this weekend......Monsoon showers expected for the Four Corners Region with locally heavyrainfall and isolated flash flooding possible...Temperatures will remain dangerously hot through at least Saturday acrossmuch of the West as a stubborn upper-level ridge remains overhead. Themost intense heat Friday and Saturday will focus over portions of theDesert Southwest Friday and the Great Basin and central California ValleysFriday into Saturday. Many near daily record-tying/breaking hightemperatures are expected with highs generally in the low 100s, and intothe 110s for the Desert Southwest. Widespread heat-related advisories andwarnings remain in place due to the threat from this heat, which remainsdangerous given the longevity and the intensity of this heat wave. Theridge is expected to begin shifting a bit eastward by Sunday, which willfinally bring a little relief to the region. Pockets of hottertemperatures will remain, particularly in the northern Great Basin, buthighs overall will be cooler by a few degrees, reducing the intensity ofthe heat and heat-related illnesses. Unfortunately, as the ridge begins toshift eastward and heights build in over the southern U.S., areas ofhazardous heat will expand over central and eastern portions of thecountry through this weekend. Portions of the northern and central Plains,already hot this week, will continue to see intense heat in the upper 90sto low 100s into the weekend, with some daily record-tying/breaking highspossible. Hotter temperatures into the upper 90s will also begin to expandover the Southeast Saturday, and then in the low to mid-90s across theMidwest on Sunday. The threat from this heat will only expand andintensify across the central/eastern U.S. heading into early next week,and it will be important to monitor the latest forecast andwatches/warnings for your area as confidence is increasing in extremelydangerous, potentially deadly heat for many of the urban areas across theSoutheast and along the East Coast.A quasi-stationary frontal boundary draped along the East Coast willcontinue to remain a focus for numerous showers and thunderstorms through

Secure your plans with the latest updates from Steve Pelletieri, your trusted weekend weather guide.Here is more ...Intense heat is expected to persist for much of the West Coast into theweekend......Oppressive heat and humidity along the Eastern Seaboard but cooler thannormal in the mid-section of the country......Severe thunderstorms and heavy rain possible for portions of theMid-Atlantic states on Saturday, then across the south-central PlainsSunday into early Monday......Beryl is forecast to re-intensify over the southwestern Gulf of Mexicoon Saturday and threaten the western Gulf Coast of the U.S. through theweekend...A relatively slow-moving weather pattern is forecast across the U.S. as wehead into the weekend. This pattern, which features a strong ridge ofhigh pressure aloft in the western U.S. and a weaker ridge over the EastCoast, will sustain a heatwave for much of the West Coast states whileoppressive heat and humidity will continue along the Eastern Seaboard anddown into the Southeast and the Deep South. The most intense heat will befound over the interior low-elevations of the West Coast and into theDesert Southwest where high temperatures into the 110s will be commonacross the Central Valley of California on Saturday. Widespreadtemperature records are expected to be tied or broken. The only placeswhere relief from the heat can be found will be the cooling effects of thePacific Ocean near the coast and the naturally cooler higher elevations. Locally higher temperatures into the 120s are possible in the typical hotspots of the Desert Southwest. The triple-digit heat will expandnorthward into the Pacific Northwest and parts of the central Great Basin,with widespread highs reachng into the 90s and low 100s. The duration ofthis heat is also concerning as these record-breaking temperatures areforecast to linger into next week. Heat impacts can compound over time,therefore it is important to remain weather aware and follow the advice oflocal officials. Heat Watches and Warnings are in effect for much of theWest. This level of heat throughout parts of the Mojave Desert andSacramento/San Joaquin valleys of California could pose a risk to anyoneif proper heat safety is not followed. It is imperative to stay hydrated,out of direct sunlight, and in buildings with sufficient air-conditioningwhen possible. It is also equally as important to check on the safety ofvulnerable friends, family, and neighbors.Last but not least, interests along the western Gulf Coast should payclose attention to the future progress of Tropical Storm Beryl, currentlytraversing the Yucatan Peninsula. Beryl is forecast to emerge into theopen waters of
Heat is expected to intensify and spread further up the West Coast muchof the West through this weekend with record-breaking temperatures......Oppressive heat and humidity across the South today will shift eastinto the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Friday and Saturday......Flash flooding and severe thunderstorms possible over parts of theMidwest, and from the Southern Plains to the Ohio Valley through tonight......Beryl is forecast to re-intensify over the southwestern Gulf of Mexicoon Saturday and threaten southern Texas...On this 4th of July, a significant and increasingly dangerous heatwave isset to intensify along the West Coast as we head into the extended holidayweekend. Widespread high temperatures well up into the 100s and 110s thisafternoon across the lower elevations in California will soar even higherby Friday afternoon. Saturday will likely shape up to be the hottest dayin this heatwave when high temperatures into the 110s will be commonacross California outside of the cooling effects of the Pacific Ocean nearthe coast and the naturally cooler higher elevations. Numerousrecord-breaking temperatures can be expected through the next few days. Locally higher temperatures into the 120s are possible in the typical hotspots of the Desert Southwest. The triple-digit heat will expandnorthward into the Pacific Northwest and parts of the central Great Basin,with widespread highs rising into the 90s and low 100s. The duration ofthis heat is also concerning as scorching above average temperatures areforecast to linger into next week. Heat impacts can compound over time,therefore it is important to remain weather aware and follow the advice oflocal officials. This level of heat throughout parts of the Mojave Desertand Sacramento/San Joaquin valleys of California could pose a risk toanyone if proper heat safety is not followed. It is imperative to stayhydrated, out of direct sunlight, and in buildings with sufficientair-conditioning when possible. It is also equally as important to checkon the safety of vulnerable friends, family, and neighbors.Meanwhile, oppressive heat and humidity across the southern Plains andlower Mississippi Valley today will begin to shift eastward to theMid-Atlantic and Southeast for the end of the week. High temperaturesrising into the upper 90s and low 100s are expected, with heat indicessoaring into the 110s across the lower Mississippi Valley. Warm overnightconditions in the upper 70s and low 80s will offer little relief, leadingto a dangerous situation for those without access to adequate cooling. Acold front entering the southern Plains is anticipated to offer cooler andbelow average temperatures to Oklahoma, much of northern/western Texas,and the Mid-South by Friday. Above average temperatures are thenanticipated to confine to the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic for the start ofthe weekend, with afternoon highs into the mid-to-upper 90s. If planningto spend an extended amount of time outdoors this Fourth of July, be sureto use caution and act quickly if you see signs of heat-related illnesses.
Dangerous heatwave to impact much of the West, while oppressive heatand humidity also swelter areas from the Southern Plains to theMid-Atlantic......Flash flooding and severe thunderstorms possible over the next few daysacross portions of the Plains, Midwest, and Ohio Valley...Record-breaking and dangerous heat is forecast to make this Fourth of Julyweek a scorcher across much of the West and from the southern Plains tothe Mid-Atlantic. Nearly 150 million residents are currently underheat-related watches, warnings, and advisories throughout 21 states as ofthis afternoon. An upper-level high situated just off the West Coast todayis forecast to strengthen and reorient directly over the western U.S. bythe end of the week. This pattern will support well above averagetemperatures over California today before heat spreads further along theWest Coast by the end of the week. High temperatures are forecast to reachinto the 105-115F range throughout interior California away from theimmediate coastline, as well as into much of the Desert Southwest.Afternoon temperatures will also begin to increase across much of Oregonand Washington by Thursday and Friday, with widespread highs soaring intothe 90s. Dozens of record highs are possible, expressing the rarity ofthis early-July heatwave. The duration of this heat is also concerning asscorching above average temperatures are forecast to linger into nextweek. Heat impacts can compound over time, therefore it is important toremain weather aware and follow the advice of local officials. This levelof heat throughout the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys of Californiacould pose a risk to anyone if proper heat safety is not followed. Thisincludes staying hydrated, out of direct sunlight, and in buildings withsufficient air-conditioning. It is also very important to check on thesafety of vulnerable friends, family, and neighbors.Oppressive heat and humidity will also be found throughout the southernPlains and lower Mississippi Valley into the Independence Day holidaywhile also expanding eastward to the Mid-Atlantic for the end of the week.High temperatures rising into the upper 90s and low 100s are expected,with heat indices soaring into the 110s across the lower MississippiValley. Warm overnight conditions in the upper 70s and low 80s will offerlittle relief, leading to a dangerous situation for those without accessto adequate cooling. A cold front entering the southern Plains isanticipated to offer cooler and below average temperatures to Oklahoma andmuch of northern/western Texas by Friday.An active and stormy weather pattern over the central U.S. is expected tocreate chances for severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, which couldimpact holiday gatherings this week. A developing area of low pressureover the central High Plains forecast to progress into the upper Midwestby Thursday along with a lingering frontal boundary stretching from thelower Great Lakes to the central Plains are anticipated to be the triggersfor some meteorological fireworks. For this evening, the best chances forscattered flash flooding due to thunderstorms capable of producing intenserainfall rates is forecast between eastern Kansas and the Ohio Valleyalong the aforementioned frontal boundary. Instances of severe weather(mainly damaging wind gusts) are also possible, with chances for severestorms also located in parts of the northern/central High Plains closer tothe developing low pressure system. By Independence Day, thunderstormchances span from the southern Plains/Rockies to the middle/upperMississippi Valley and also eastward to the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic.However, the greatest threat for strong to severe thunderstorms will be

Join me next time for an updated forecast and enjoy your week!Here are more details Dangerously hot conditions will continue across the Southern Plains andLower Mississippi Valley, while simmering heat builds throughoutCalifornia's Central Valley starting Tuesday......Severe thunderstorm and heavy rain threat for the East Coast today; aModerate Risk for Excessive Rainfall has been posted for portions of theSoutheast coast for Monday......Showers and thunderstorms for the Four Corners/Southwest over the nextfew days; active weather pattern to produce some pre-Independence Dayfireworks in the Northern Plains and Midwest...As the calendar prepares to flip over to July today sweltering summerheat will be one of the top stories in the days leading up to IndependenceDay. To start the week, strong upper level high pressure over the Southwill be responsible for heat indices that range between 105-110F (locallyup to 115F) through Tuesday from the Southern Plains on east to the LowerMississippi Valley. Much of these regions have Excessive Heat Warnings andHeat Advisories that are in place through at least Monday. Meanwhile,California and Desert Southwest will gradually heat up as anotherimpressive upper level ridge of high pressure builds in over the northeastPacific on Tuesday. Daily record highs may be challenged in parts ofcentral California and heat indices in the Golden State's Great Valley mayapproach 105F. This approaching heat dome along the West Coast will likelybe a fixture for Californians and eventually for more residents along theWest Coast by Independence Day. On the flip side, following anoppressively hot Sunday in the Northeast, the strong cold frontresponsible for today's widespread shower and thunderstorm activity willusher in a more refreshing air-mass tonight. High pressure over the GreatLakes tomorrow is set to lock in pleasant weather across the northeasternU.S. through Tuesday. The other regions likely to experience cooler thannormal temperatures the first couple days of July are the Northern Rockiesand northern Great Plains as northwesterly flow keeps any excessive heatat bay in the short term.In terms of active weather, the evening will remain quite busy along andeast of I-95 this evening from southern New England on south to theMid-Atlantic states. The severe threat will conclude for interior parts ofthe Northeast this afternoon as the cold front races south and east. Somethunderstorms could be severe this evening, particularly from NorthCarolina to as far north as Maine where the Storm Prediction Center has aSlight Risk (threat level 2/5) in place. The area most at risk for severeweather is from the Delaware Valley to southern New England where
Ever wondered how weather systems can impact your travel plans and holiday celebrations? Join meteorologist Steve Pellettiere on The Weatherman Podcast as we dissect the powerful frontal system sweeping through the northeast corridor from DC to Boston.

You'll learn which areas will have clear skies and optimal conditions, and where you should brace for weather-induced delays and cancellations.Dive deep into the specifics of how major airline hubs from central Arkansas to New York State will be affected, and get a day-by-day forecast for the entire week. From sunny skies in Chicago and the west coast to persistent showers in south Florida and potential tropical developments, we cover it all. Steve Protherty ensures you're well-informed whether you're flying across the country or planning a local barbecue. Tune in to start your week with the most comprehensive and up-to-date weather insights, and prepare for whatever Mother Nature has in store! Here are some details...A cold front moving through the Great Lakes this evening will bring incooler and drier air to the region for Sunday, with showers andthunderstorms out ahead of it over much of the Northeast, Ohio Valley, andMid-Atlantic. By Sunday, the front will push closer to the I-95 corridor,focusing the chance for thunderstorms (some severe per the StormPrediction Center) toward the coast in the Northeast, but also into theMid-Atlantic and central/southern Appalachians. Isolated flash flooding ispossible in some areas that experience heavier rainfall in a short amountof time. Farther south, the frontal boundary will slip into the Mid-Southand TN Valley, with scattered showers and thunderstorms on Sunday. Fartherwest, tail-end of the same frontal boundary will help fire off mainlyafternoon showers and storms over the Four Corners region and across muchof the Rockies. Flash flooding is possible in some areas, especially inmore sensitive regions with steep terrain.Over the northern Rockies, a system will bring an expanding area of rainand thunderstorms tonight into Sunday, moving into eastern Montana wheresome severe weather is possible. By late Sunday into Monday, potentiallyheavier rainfall will push into the Upper Midwest/Corn Belt where FlashFlooding will be possible over areas that have seen well above normalrainfall recently. Isolated flash, urban, and small stream flooding alongwith new and renewed river rises are possible per the National WaterCenter.Temperatures will be quite variable across the Lower 48 over the next twodays. Much of the northern tier -- from the northern Plains eastward tothe Great Lakes -- will see below normal temperatures on Sunday intoMonday with highs generally only in the 70s. Ahead of the front to theeast, warm/hot temperatures in the 80s/90s on Sunday near the East Coastwill be replaced by 70s/80s on Monday. The hottest temperatures will belocated over much of the southern Plains to the Southeast, as well as intothe Desert Southwest. Though daytime maximum temperatures may not breakdaily records, overnight low temperatures will remain quite warm (only inthe 70s to around 80 degrees) due to high levels of humidity. This will bereflected during the day by high heat indices in the low 100s. By Monday,much of interior California will start to see temperatures near and over100 degrees, as will parts of the central Plains.
Heat wave focus shifts from the Midwest/Ohio Valley into theMid-Atlantic states this weekend......Excessive Rainfall and Severe Weather concerns across the Upper GreatLakes/Mississippi Valley tonight followed by New England Sunday......Heat expands from West into Plains early next week, monsoon-likeconditions for the Desert Southwest...A heat wave will continue over much of the eastern U.S. south of aquasi-stationary boundary and under the influence of longwave ridgingaloft this weekend. Forecast low temperatures Saturday will generally bein the mid- to upper 70s from the central/southern Plains to the EastCoast. These temperatures remain the most anomalous and dangerous forearly Summer over portions of the Midwest/Ohio Valley east to theMid-Atlantic. A potent upper-level shortwave will help to finally push theboundary southward Sunday, bringing welcome relief to much of theMidwest/Ohio Valley, while the Mid-Atlantic continues to simmer. Numerousrecord-tying/breaking highs are possible. In addition, overnight lowtemperatures will remain to the mid- and even upper 70s, providing littlerelief from the heat overnight. The combination of this heat coming earlyin the Summer season and persisting over several days increases the levelof heat stress for those without reliable air conditioning.Widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue to the north along thequasi-stationary boundary draped from New England west through the GreatLakes and into the Upper Mississippi Valley. Plentiful moisture willincrease the chance for locally heavy downpours. The highest chance forpotentially significant heavy rainfall will be along the boundary ahead ofan upper-level wave over portions of the Upper Great Lakes/UpperMississippi Valley tonight. Ongoing organized storms from overnight Fridayas well as the risk for more widespread, organized storms into the daySaturday has prompted a Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 3/4)over southern Wisconsin and northeastern Iowa for the threat of scatteredto numerous instances of flash flooding. A broader Slight Risk (level 2/4)covers the region. In addition, a few storms may be severe, with a SlightRisk of severe weather (level 2/5) issued by the Storm Prediction Centerfor the threat of some damaging winds and a few tornadoes. A locallyhigher threat for heavier downpours will also exist over southern NewEngland, with a Slight Risk in place. The noted more potent upper-levelshortwave arriving Sunday will help to push the boundary south andeastward, bringing higher storm chances more broadly across New Englandand southwestward though the Mid-Atlantic/Ohio Valley/Tennessee Valley.Stronger, very moist low-level flow interacting with the boundary overnorthern New England will bring the greatest chance for heavy downpoursand scattered flash flooding, with another Slight Risk in place. SPCupgraded their Slight Risk to an Enhanced Risk over parts of central NewEngland/much of New Hampshire and Vermont, where damaging winds and a fewtornadoes will once again be the main threats.Upper-level ridging will begin to build over the western and then centralU.S. following the shortwave passage, bringing rising temperatures acrossthis region as well. The focus over the northern tier will begin to shifteastward with the ridge on Sunday, with cooler highs in the PacificNorthwest but temperatures soaring into the mid- and upper 90s over muchof the central/northern High Plains. Conditions will remain hot fromcentral to southern California. Temperatures will still be hot but closerto average for the Desert Southwest as Monsoon-like conditions remain overthe region. Highs on Sunday and Monday will range in the mid- to upper100s, wi
.Dual threats of severe thunderstorms and flash flooding this eveningthrough Saturday night across the central High Plains into the southernMissouri......Temperatures will be above average for the West and Southeast while itwill be cooler than average from the central Plains into portions of theGreat Lakes and Northeast through Monday...Higher end threats for severe thunderstorms and flash flooding will existthis evening into early Sunday morning across the central U.S. Anomalousmoisture is already in place from the central High Plains region, eastwardacross Kansas into southern Missouri near a cold front in the region.Thunderstorms will increase in coverage and intensity over easternportions of Colorado and southern Missouri through the remainder of theevening and favorable wind shear will support severe thunderstorms. TheStorm Prediction Center has an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5) of severethunderstorms extending from eastern Colorado into western Kansas throughSunday morning, while a Moderate Risk (level 3 of 4) of flash flooding isin place by the Weather Prediction Center over southern Missouri. Multiplerounds of thunderstorms will favor the potential for several inches ofrain through Sunday morning.The cold front over the central U.S. is expected to continue advancingsouth into the southern Plains and east into the southern Mid-Atlanticregion on Sunday, bringing cooler temperatures to the central U.S.Forecast high temperatures on Monday are expected to be about 20 degreescolder compared to the expected high temperatures for today. Cooler thanaverage temperatures are also expected for the Great Lakes region wherereinforcing cold fronts will move through the region through Monday inaddition to showers and thunderstorms.Across the western and southeastern U.S., warmer than average hightemperatures are in the forecast through Monday, although a break iscoming from some of the excessive heat experienced over the past few daysacross California, the Desert Southwest and Texas. A cold front will movethrough the West over the next couple of days which will bring some relieffrom the high temperatures along with an increasing coverage of showersand thunderstorms. A Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms (hail and wind)is forecast by the Storm Prediction Center over portions of Idaho, Montanaand Wyoming for Sunday ahead of an upper level trough which will help todrive the cold front inland.
Excessive Heat Warnings remain in effect across the California'sCentral Valley and much of the Desert Southwest......A couple rounds of severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall possibleacross portions of the Central Plains toward the Mid-Mississippi ValleyFriday and Saturday...A strong upper-level ridge associated with the ongoing heat wave over theSouthwest is forecast to reach its peak intensity today (Thursday) beforesliding off slowly toward the southern Plains during the next couple ofdays. Widespread high and low temperature records being tied or brokenbetween California Nevada and Arizona today will expand a bit northwardinto Oregon and Washington on Friday and Saturday. Highs in the 90s and100s followed by lows ranging from the upper 50s to mid 70s will lower bya couple of degrees each day. HeatRisk will peak between Major andExtreme today for much of the West, with California's Central Valley andthe Desert Southwest being of particular concern due to their lowerelevations and some urban areas. Little to no overnight relief from theheat will affect those without effective cooling and/or adequatehydration.Mid-level energy propagating through the Florida peninsula will supportscattered thunderstorms that may become severe this evening. Meanwhile, acouple days of Major to Extreme Heat Risk, particularly over urban areasare forecast for the southern half of the peninsula. Several high and lowtemperature records may be tied or broken on Friday and Saturday.Showers and thunderstorms will develop along a cold front moving acrossthe East Coast today. Locally heavy rainfall may occur over portions ofthe Interior Northeast and southern New England into the evening. Thingsmostly clear out across the East Coast on Friday, save for parts ofnorthern/central New England where some light showers and an isolatedthunderstorm will be possible. A lingering upper-level low will keeptemperatures cooler than normal across the northern tier states along withwindy conditions into the weekend. The associated instability will alsosupport occasional showers across the Great Lakes for the next couple ofdays.We shift our attention to the Central U.S. on Friday as a low pressuresystem emerges from the Rockies. Showers and thunderstorms are expected todevelop across the Central Plains and move generally east toward theMid-Mississippi Valley as organized clusters of thunderstorms that day.The Storm Prediction Center issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of SevereThunderstorms across south-central Nebraska into northern Kansas due tothe potential of damaging wind gusts and some hail. Excessive Rainfall will be more likely farther downstream from eastern Kansas into westernMissouri. By Saturday, the thunderstorms and heavy rain are expected topush farther southeast toward the mid-Mississippi Valley when colder airfrom the northern Plains begins to edge southward. The best chance forthese storms to develop will be from Friday afternoon into the eveningfrom eastern Oklahoma to northern Arkansas and southern Missouri.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms expected to move through theeastern U.S. for the next couple of days with locally heavy to excessiverainfall possible over the central Appalachians through tonight...Over the next couple of days, a shift in the weather pattern will continueto push the active weather across the eastern U.S. This shift in theweather pattern will also sustain a heatwave across the southwestern U.S. High temperatures well up into the 100s this afternoon across the CentralValley of California could soar a couple degrees higher Thursdayafternoon. The Desert Southwest will likely see temperatures soaring intothe 110s Thursday afternoon, with Las Vegas' high temperaturechallenging/reaching its earliest 112 degrees on record. Widespread highand low temperature records may be tied or broken through Friday. Excessive Heat Warnings are in effect for California's Central Valley aswell as much of the Desert Southwest including southeastern California,southern Nevada and western/southern Arizona. Record warm lowtemperatures at night will not offer much chance to cool off either. Theheat is forecast to expand northward across the Great Basin and into theinterior Pacific Northwest on Friday with highs reaching well up into the90s. Meanwhile, the heat across southern Texas is forecast to become lessintense over the next couple of days.Much cooler, damp, and windy conditions will gradually spread from thenorthern Plains eastward into the upper Midwest and the Great Lakesthrough the next couple of days behind the cold front trailing south froma deep low pressure system over southern Canada. The system will pushsteadily eastward, providing a break in the active weather over themid-section of the country while spreading showers and embeddedthunderstorms across the Great Lakes, Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, and downtoward the lower Mississippi Valley through tonight. The inclementweather will reach into much of the East Coast on Thursday as the coldfront continues its eastward progress. There appears to be a greaterchance for New England to see some locally heavy rain with embeddedthunderstorms later on Thursday as a warm front lifting northward meetsthe eastward-advancing cold front. More rounds of showers are expectedfor the interior Northeast on Friday as addition energy rotates across theGreat Lakes toward New England.By later on Friday, a low pressure system will be organizing over thecentral Plains with support from upper-level energy ejecting eastward fromthe central Rockies. Showers and thunderstorms will begin to develop andexpand ahead of the system over the central Plains by Friday afternoon. Scattered thunderstorms will also develop over the central Rockie
Severe thunderstorms and heavy rain possible from the lower MississippiValley across the south-central Plains and through the upper Midwestthrough tonight......Growing Excessive Heat concerns over portions of California's centralvalley region as well as the Desert Southwest with Heat Risk persistingover southern Texas...Over the next couple of days, a shift in the weather pattern willgradually push the active weather that has been persisting over themid-section of the country toward the eastern U.S. This shift in theweather pattern will also bring a heatwave into the western U.S. A lowpressure system currently advancing across the northern Plains hasprompted High Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories from the northern Rockiesinto the northern Plains. This system will act as a catalyst for theweather pattern change as the trailing front marches across the countrythrough the next couple of days. Showers and thunderstorms are expectedto be most active ahead of the cold front across the Midwest and farthersouth where it meets a low pressure wave over Oklahoma, where the chanceof severe thunderstorms and flash flooding will be the highest throughtonight. By Wednesday, the system will push steadily eastward, endingmuch of the active weather over the mid-section of the country whilebringing widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms across the GreatLakes, Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, and down toward the lower MississippiValley. The inclement weather will reach into much of the East Coast onThursday as a cold front continues its eastward progress. There appearsto be a greater chance for New England to see stronger thunderstorms lateron Thursday as a warm front lifting northward meets the eastward-advancingcold front.Much cooler, damp, and windy conditions will gradually spread from thenorthern Plains eastward into the upper Midwest and the Great Lakesthrough the next couple of days behind the cold front and a deep lowpressure system over southern Canada. On the opposite side of thecountry, a heatwave is in store for the southwestern portion of thecountry as a strong ridge of high pressure intensifies and takes control. Areas of particular concern for the heat include the low elevation regionsof California's central valley, where high temperatures will likely climbwell up into the 100s at the hottest location while 110s will be commonover the interior desert region including Las Vegas, NV especially byThursday afternoon. There is a good chance for the temperature to top 112degrees in Las Vegas on Thursday, which would become the city's earliestobserved 112 degrees on record. Widespread temperature records are alsoexpected to be tied or broken elsewhere across much of the aforementionedareas. Excessive Heat Warnings and Watches extend from the central valleydown through southern California's deserts, southern Nevada andsouthern/western Arizona. Heat Risk will peak over California's centralvalley on Wednesday before expanding into the Desert Southwest later thisweek. Little overnight relief will make for dangerous conditions forthose without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Meanwhile,Heat Risk over southern Texas peaks today but is expected to persist forthe next few days.
On Tuesday, a reinforcing cold front will move out of the Northern Rockiesand merge with the front over the Mississippi Valley, producing showersand severe thunderstorms over parts of the Upper/Middle Mississippi Valleyand Central Plains. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Upper/Middle MississippiValley and Central Plains from Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Thehazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severethunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.Moreover, the showers and thunderstorms will cause heavy rain over theUpper/Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and Central/Southern Plains.Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessiverainfall over parts of the Upper/Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley andCentral/Southern Plains from Tuesday through Wednesday morning. Theassociated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flashflooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas themost vulnerable.On Wednesday, the threat of excessive rainfall will decrease slightly overthe Great Lakes, Ohio/Tennessee Valleys, Lower Mississippi Valley,Southern Plains, Central/Southern Appalachians, Mid-Atlantic andSoutheast. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/4) ofexcessive rainfall over the region on Wednesday. The associated heavyrain will create localized areas of flash flooding, affecting areas thatexperience rapid runoff with heavy rain. Also, on Wednesday, the threat ofsevere thunderstorms will end. However, showers and thunderstorms willdevelop over the eastern third of the lower forty-eight states. Meanwhile, on Monday, rain and snow melt will produce heavy runoff overparts of the Northwest and Northern Intermountain Region. Therefore, theWPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over partsof the Northern Intermountain Region through Tuesday morning. Theassociated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flashflooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas themost vulnerable.In addition, early Tuesday, a front will move onshore over the PacificNorthwest and inland to the Northern Intermountain Region and weaken byWednesday. The system will produce rain over parts of the PacificNorthwest and Northern Intermountain Region.Furthermore, a developing upper-level ridging will build over Californiaand continue over southern/western Texas, aiding in spawning ExcessiveHeat Warnings, Excessive Heat Watches, and Heat Advisories overCentral/Southern California and western/southern Texas and CentralCalifornia. Moreover, the ridging will create the first round of dangerous heat thisseason. The hottest temperatures so far for the West will build inCalifornia and the Desert Southwest on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the heatwill create record-breaking daily high temperatures for portions ofCalifornia�s Central Valley. Be sure to break your heat exposure byavoiding outdoor time at the hottest times of the day. Check local mediaand government websites for cooling center locations and hours.
Heavy snow continues into tonight for the Central Rockies and adjacentfoothills/High Plains before gradually tapering off through Friday.

Snow rates upwards of 2"/hr will bringseveral more inches of snow through tonight with storm total snowfall of1-2 feet, locally as much as 2-4 feet. Gusty winds leading to blowing snowwill make travel very dangerous to impossible, with many of the localinterstates already closed. The snow should begin to gradually taper offThursday night and into Friday morning. Snowfall will then shift a bit tothe southwest over the Four Corners region as the upper-low settles inoverhead for the next couple of days. Waves of heavy snow will bring 12"+of snowfall to the higher elevations of the regional mountain ranges intothis weekend. Lower elevations of the Four Corners will see a mix of rainand snow, though any accumulations should remain limited, with rain alsospreading to the Desert Southwest. Some thunderstorms will also bepossible. Precipitation chances should continue at least through Saturdayevening.To the east, widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue along andhead of a wavy cold front stretching from the Great Lakes/Midwestsouthwestward through the Middle Mississippi Valley and into the SouthernPlains. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined an Enhanced Risk ofsevere weather (level 3/5) from north Texas northeastward into easternOklahoma, northwestern Arkansas, and southern Missouri through tonightwhere the best combination of strong buoyancy and both low-level anddeep-layer wind shear are expected to lead to some supercell storms.Storms will likely begin to cluster into the evening bringing more of alarge hail and damaging wind threat, though a few tornadoes will remainpossible with any remaining discrete/semi-discrete storms, including thepotential for a strong tornado. A broader Slight Risk (level 2/5) is inplace from the Southern Plains northeastward through the MiddleMississippi Valley/Mid-South and into the Ohio Valley where some moreisolated instances of large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes arepossible. In addition, a southerly influx of deep moisture from the Gulfof Mexico along with storms clustering/motions increasingly parallel tothe frontal boundary will bring the threat of some very heavy downpoursand the risk of scattered instances of flash flooding, with a Slight Riskof Excessive Rainfall (level 2/4) overlapping the Enhanced severe risk,and continuing downstream into the Mid-South as storms move eastwardovernight.Elsewhere, a clipper system dropping southeastward from Canada into theUpper Midwest/Great Lakes by Friday evening will bring some light tomoderate rain/snow shower chances into Saturday. Temperature-wise, aboveaverage highs will continue to bring an early taste of Spring to most ofthe central and eastern U.S. heading into the weekend.

Heavy rain and flash flooding threat continues in the Southwest today.Heavy Snow for the Intermountain West mountains through mid-week.Temperatures will continue to run above average from the Plains to theNortheast with record breaking warmth for parts of the Upper MidwestShowers and thunderstorms have expanded into the Desert Southwest ahead ofa deep upper trough that is slowly moving east into the region. Locallyheavy rainfall could lead to scattered instances of flash flooding throughtonight in Southern California and western and central Arizona, especiallyfor the Transverse and Peninsula ranges and Mogollon Rim where terrainwill enhance rainfall. Although rain rates/totals will be trendingdownward across Southern California compared to the last couple of days,the risk for flooding and mud/debris flows remains elevated given the verywet antecedent conditions. For higher elevations, snowfall rates will becoming down for the Sierra Nevada and remain heavy for elevations above7000 feet in the Transverse/Peninsular ranges. Conditions will improvethrough the rest of the week as precipitation becomes lighter and theflash flood threat decreases. As the upper trough moves further inland, precipitation will expand acrossthe Intermountain West through mid-week. Heavy snowfall is forecast formany of the regional mountain ranges over the next couple days, withparticularly high totals expected in the Four Corners region where amountsof 2+ feet will be possible. Other ranges of the Great Basin and NorthernRockies will see totals generally between 6-12", with some locally higheramounts possible. Lower elevation/valley locations across the region willsee a mix of moderate rain and snow showers, although any snowaccumulations are expected to remain limited. Height falls beginning tooverspread the Northern/Central High Plains will also lead to enhanced leecyclogenesis and a developing low pressure/frontal system Wednesday. Thiswill bring increasing chances for wintry precipitation spreading eastwardacross the Northern High Plains as the system strengthens. Some freezingrain and sleet will be possible, as well as for a few inches of snow,particularly for northeastern Montana. Elsewhere, the Midwest, South, and East Coast will remain mostly drythrough mid-week. Upper-level ridging over the central/eastern U.S. willkeep temperatures generally mild and above average from the Plains to theNortheast/Appalachians, with below average temperatures along the coastalSoutheast and west of the Rockies. Highs across the Northern Plains/UpperMidwest in particular continue to remain upwards of 20-30 degrees aboveaverage, with 40s and 50s forecast. Some daily record-tying/breaking hightemperatures will be possible for the Upper Midwest and Great Lakesregions today through Friday. Precipitation chances will return to theMidwest, South, and East later this week into this weekend as a frontalsystem pushes east.
Heavy rain with life threatening flash flooding will continue forSouthern California into Tuesday.Heavy Snow to impact the major mountain ranges from the Sierra Nevadato the Central Rockies through mid-week.Temperatures will continue to run well above average from the GreatPlains to the Appalachians with record breaking warmth for parts of theUpper Midwest.A slow moving and relatively narrow axis of anomalous moisture willcontinue to focus across Southern California over the next 12 to 24 hours,maintaining a significant threat for life threatening flash floodingacross the Transverse Ranges and adjacent locations. Areas of moderate toheavy rain are expected to remain in place near a cold front crossing thesouthern coast of California, just ahead of an upper level trough axis.Additional rainfall totals through Tuesday of 1-3 inches are expected forthe urban corridor from Los Angeles to San Diego and into the foothills ofthe Transverse Ranges, with locally higher rainfall totals in areas ofhigher terrain. This will fall on top of the 5 to 10+ inches of rain whichhas impacted Southern California over the past 48 hours. Flooding ofstreams and rivers along with mudslides are expected to remain a threat.While rain will continue for Southern California on Tuesday, the intensityis expected to be lighter than what occurred over the weekend as the stormsystem moves east into the Desert Southwest, but the potential for flashflooding and higher rainfall rates will expand into western Arizona,southern Nevada and southwestern Utah.Heavy snow and strong winds will continue to generate near impossibletravel conditions for elevations at/above 5000-7000 ft for southernportions of the Sierra Nevada into the mountains of central Nevada. As theupper trough and surface cold front shift eastward through mid week, heavysnow will spread eastward into the higher elevations of Utah, Idaho,Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico.The central and eastern U.S. will remain fairly dry after a powerful stormsystem exits from the Southeast into the western Atlantic tonight. Upperlevel ridging over the central U.S. will continue anomalously warmth forthe Northern/Central Plains and Upper Midwest through Wednesday. Hightemperatures in the 40s and low 50s are expected for the Upper Midwest onTuesday and Wednesday, 20-30 degrees above average. which will likelybreak daily record high temperatures. Highs temperatures generally fromthe Rockies to the Northeast will be above average and mild.
The upcoming holiday weekend will be stocking-stuffed with unsettledweather from the Southwest and the Rockies to the Heartland and GreatLakes. The culprits responsible are two upper level disturbances; one inthe Pacific Northwest and a closed upper low tracking into southernArizona this evening. The disturbance over the Northwest will bring aboutperiods of mountain snow and valley rain from the Washington/Oregon coastto the northern Rockies and northern Great Basin tonight. The more potentof the two features is the closed low approaching southern Arizona as itfunnels rich subtropical moisture into the Desert Southwest. The WeatherPrediction Center has a Slight Risk for Excessive Rainfall in place fromfar Southern California and the Lower Colorado River Valley to southeastArizona. A little farther north, heavy snow is expected in the higherterrain of the Southern Rockies where over a foot of snow is possibletonight and into Saturday. In the Great Lakes, a weak wave of low pressuretracking along a stalled frontal boundary will generate showers from theMiddle Mississippi Valley to the Lower Great Lakes this evening andovernight.
A little warmer today and Wednesday, cooler Thursday/Friday, some rain/snow for southern Rockies and Desert Southwest...

I Episode Info I In this episode, Jenna shares thoughts on how we can work with the energy of Mother Earth to heal and activate new energy codes in our energy fields. Following a trip through the Desert Southwest of the United States, she shares about how we can work with the power centers that are located along various ley lines or energy lines below the Earth's surface. This trip or journey was inspired by Episode 21: Star Shrines of the Desert Southwest - both Jenna and Sinead feel passionately about honoring the knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors, and about connecting with the Earth and Stars for transformation. They learned to be careful about what they wish for - mission accomplished! The journey through the energy line in the desert Southwest resulted in some potent and powerful activations and energy shifts! Jenna shares about how the energy line they followed aligns with sacred sites. And these sacred sites, temples or star shrines are directly aligned to the Orion constellation, and are designed to represent the 7 chakras, and the flow of energy from the Root Chakra to the Crown Chakra. Stay tuned for another episode where we share more about the potent flow of energy that was experienced and how you can experience it yourself from your own home! | Show References | ► Star Shrines and Earthworks of the Desert Southwest by Gary A David ► Star Shines Google Map I https://goo.gl/maps/zzyJ2bqTyLBchdVn7 | Podcast Episode References | ► Episode 21 Star Shrines of the Desert SW I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxhHxVxWQWs ► Episode 14 Star Ancestors I https://youtu.be/OrU-GSvC5sE ► Episode 16 Amanda Romania I https://youtu.be/Flci3aIrp38 | Our Favorite Brands | ► Smudge Wellness I https://tinyurl.com/smudgewellnessbrand | Star Family Wisdom Resources| ► Free Star Family Wisdom Resources | http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/free ► Free Manifestation Journal | https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/manifestationjournal ►Free Manifestation Webinar I https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/masterswebinarevergreen ► Free Moon Guide Download I https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/freemoonguide ► Free Sacred Geometry Meditation Art I https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/sacredgeometrysignup | Star Family Wisdom | ► Website| http://www.starfamilywisdom.com ► Podcast| http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/podcast ► Disclaimer | http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/disclaimer ► Core Values | http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/about ►Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/starfamilywisdom ►Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/starfamilywisdompodcast_ ►Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/starfamilywisdom ►Youtube | http://www.tinyurl.com/starfamyoutube | Connect with Sinéad and Jenna | ►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/jenna_layden ►Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/swhelehan/ ============================================= About the Podcast: Star Family Wisdom is a paradigm shifting podcast, community and online school for your Spiritual and Cosmic evolution!

I Episode Info I In this episode, Jenna shares a review of Gary A David's book, Star Shrines and Earthworks of the Desert SW. In this book, Gary highlights the Hopi culture, and their origin stories, leading to an analysis of their sacred sites, or Star Shrines. Gary finds that the Hopi laid out their sacred sites in a ground plan that mimics the Egyptian temple ground plan. Both ground plans align the sacred sites, temples or star shrines to the Orion constellation, and are designed to represent the 7 chakras, and the flow of energy from the Root Chakra to the Crown Chakra. Gary's analysis of Hopi culture and Egyptian culture draws startling correlations and similarities between the two cultures! In this episode we also explore the astronomical anomalies at Chaco Canyon, along with a very mysterious tale about a cave in the Grand Canyon where Egyptian artifacts were found! This episode takes us on an adventure through the SW, and might reveal a more sophisticated cosmology and ancient connections between cultures on Earth. | Show References | ► Star Shrines and Earthworks of the Desert Southwest by Gary A David ► Shamanic Initiation Waitlist I https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/shamanicriteofpassage ► Four Winds Society I https://thefourwinds.com ► Star Shines Google Map I https://goo.gl/maps/zzyJ2bqTyLBchdVn7 | Podcast Episode References | ► Episode 11 Paul Wallis Book Review I https://youtu.be/xMQdbO-aWOc ► Episode 14 Star Ancestors I https://youtu.be/OrU-GSvC5sE ► Episode 16 Amanda Romania I https://youtu.be/Flci3aIrp38 ► Episode 16 Stargate Vision Clip I https://youtu.be/w5OjJwUUwDo | Star Family Wisdom Resources| ► Free Star Family Wisdom Resources | http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/free ► Manifestation Store |https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/manifestation ► Spirituality Store |https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/spirituality ► ET and UFO Store | https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/etsandufos ► Shamanism Store |https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/shamanicinitiation | Star Family Wisdom | ► Website| http://www.starfamilywisdom.com ► Podcast| http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/podcast ► Disclaimer | http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/disclaimer ► Core Values | http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/about ►Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/starfamilywisdom ►Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/starfamilywisdompodcast_ ►Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/starfamilywisdom ►Youtube | http://www.tinyurl.com/starfamyoutube | Connect with Sinéad and Jenna | ►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/jenna_layden ►Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/swhelehan/ ============================================= About the Podcast: Star Family Wisdom is a paradigm shifting podcast, community and online school for your Spiritual and Cosmic evolution!

If you don't know Teresa Burnett, you probably don't live in Monahans, TX or any surrounding community. She was raised in Artesia, NM where she grew up with her parents, Joe and Karen Hodges, and three younger siblings, Scott, Kelly, and Amy. After graduating Artesia High School, she attended South Plains in Levelland, TX where she met and married Johnny Burnett. Shortly after marrying Johnny, they moved to Monahans where she raised her two children, Kandace and JW, and enjoys every moment with her four grandchildren, Caitlyne, Thomas, Rian, and Kate. Teresa has many amazing qualities, but three stand out more than others: passion, selflessness, and energy. Teresa loves the town of Monahans and its citizens, and if you give her the time, she will bend your ear about Monahans and the many things it has to offer! Passion is described as an emotion that brings you satisfaction, so much that you get lost in what you do. Teresa may have been raised in Artesia, NM, however there is no doubt that the blood in her veins is green. The amount of time she spends thinking, planning, and organizing things in town describes her passion for her community, a trait that you won't find in many people. This trait is shown through the countless boards on which she serves, charity organizations in which she helps raise money, the commitment she has to the Monahans Lions Club, and the love that she has for her family. There isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't talk about something that her kids, or grandkids have accomplished, or what she gets to go see them do. The same goes for the town of Monahans and its citizens. Her passion does not go unnoticed when you hear people talk about her and the many things she has done, including the numerous awards she has been given, with one of the highest honors being the “Woman of Distinction” award she received from the Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest. Selflessness is described as someone that is more concerned with the needs and wishes of someone other than themselves. This character trait defines Teresa more than any because of the time and effort she puts into everything she does. This is not reflected only at the Monahans Chamber of Commerce, but her friends and family as well. As Mom and Grammy she puts all of her needs and wants aside to fulfill the needs, wants and wishes of her children and grandchildren. Teresa gives to her community just like she gives to her family, this is because she considers her community to be her family. She has given to every fundraiser, blessing boxes, pie auction, and many other things behind the scenes that many people don't even know about. If you need help with anything she will go to the ends of the earth to help you get it, or if she has it, she will give it to you without question. Energy is described as having strength to be able to sustain physical or mental activity. Many people look at children and say, “I wish I had about ½ the energy that kid has!” Teresa has the energy of three children put together! We see Teresa running around town going from one place to the other without fail. Her energy can often be contagious if you are feeling up to it! The Broadband project is one of the highest honors that reflects her energy. Teresa spent countless hours and resources getting the money and the plans for the Broadband project, which she was honored with an award from the state of Texas! If you know Teresa, you know it is very hard to keep up with her, she doesn't know how to slow down. When she completes everything with the chamber, she still has the energy to play with her grandchildren, keep them on the weekend, or attend their events at school. Teresa's passion, selflessness, and energy make her who she is. There isn't another person around that can do what she does and love it as much as she does. Many people have a passion for their work, or their family, but Teresa has the qualities to fulfill both work and family life. Without Te
We hunt for Gambel's and Blue Quail throughout the desert southwest. The Brittany crew of Cap, Ruby, Shack, and Blue and I wander through good areas and bad. We encounter javelinas and herds of cows in the road, and along the way we manage to bag a few quail. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/turnemloose/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/turnemloose/support
Unknown 0:02Good morning everyone. It is very early Friday morning August 27. We have a lot going on on the weather map today. First of all, we have a tropical storm Idaho that formed earlier Thursday morning. This system is expected to reach at least category one hurricane strength before affecting the Louisiana State of the southern portions of Louisiana and Mississippi. In fact, the National Weather Service has issued a hurricane watch, which is in effect for those areas Sunday morning through Monday morning. And people should prepare really, they say people should prepare as if there's a category two hurricane hitting that area. But as of now forecasts call for a hurricane strength category one with sustained winds of 60 to 80 miles per hour. now realize that sustained hurricane force winds are 74 miles per hour and National Weather Service is expecting 10 to 15 inches of rain. AccuWeather Max is 20 inches of rain. For many of those locations. This is a very serious storm. This will again be affecting the area Sunday through Monday morning. Now, the thing about this storm is that it's going to be going over an area and the Gulf of Mexico. And there's a certain term for this area. But I do not remember what exactly the term is. But this area in the Gulf of Mexico is very deep, warm water. Now sometimes you might see this word it as it's going over very warm, deep water. But I think really the word very should be on the word deep, very deep, warm water. The water is warm, the water is not any warmer over here than it is anyplace else. The waters in the mid 80s. water temperatures throughout the Gulf of Mexico are in the mid 80s. I was a little bit surprised I was expecting to see some upper 80s. But I see mid 80s. But the water is a there's an area in the Gulf of Mexico where the water is very deep. And it's in the mid 80s. Very deep into the mid 80s. It's in the mid 80s deep. Now what difference does that make? You might think? Well, here's the difference. It's because when there is in the process of the storm developing, the water does there's up swelling and the if you don't have warm water underneath the water on the surface, eventually it will at least delay the strengthening of the storm until the Hurricanes able to move into warmer waters once again. But this time around, that's not going to be happening. Usually when hurricanes move over this type of this type of situation in the ocean. It goes through rapid intensification. It has not moved over this area yet but it's expected to and that's when it's expected to develop into a hurricane. And again, this is headed for Louisiana and Mississippi. The strong track also has a going up into Tennessee as well. And obviously it's going to be much weaker by the time it hits Tennessee and then moving off to the east, northeast, as it does. SoUnknown 2:54the question is what's going to be happening behind this hurricane? What type of airmass Are we going to have? As of right now, if you look at the country right now, you can't tell really, at least in my part of the country and in much of the country where people are living, you really can't tell that we're in the last week of august about to go into September. It is just really hot and humid, humid. That's really the main word over here is humidity. The humidity is just so high all over the place. I was looking at the for the Chicago area, or Joliet To be more exact, exact, I was looking at what the humidity trend has been in general throughout the summer. And you know, it's the first six days of June, we didn't really get much humidity. But starting from June 7 onward, there's certainly been an upward trend, especially in the consistency of the humidity there. There was a couple breaks in June a six day break after the first I think we had the first several days of tropical humidity were Gulf Coast humidity of dew points of 70 degrees or higher. We had a six day break, but I think that was the largest break we've seen all summer. That was all the way back in June. That was before summer even started that was before June 21. Before the equinox the summer solstice that's that was the largest six day break that we had. After that it's just been humid, very humid. And we've had some breaks here and there we had a few days toward the end of June, the beginning of July, another three days in the middle of July, another three days at the end of July, a couple days from the beginning of August. We had a few days in the middle of August, but since August 17 it's really been tropical humidity every single day. Even with there might have been a two day might have been two day exception to that. But even within that period, we still had human conditions for much of the time. So we are in the midst of very humid here. I know out in the East it's also very humid. Some of this is actually blamed on some of the heat is being blamed on Hurricane and tropical storm Henry that left behind an air of an area of sinking air compressing air, which magnified the intensity of the heat. We have heat advisories in effect for portions of the East Coast up in Providence, Rhode Island, hidden disease expected to go into the mid and upper 90s for later on today, also for Northern Connecticut and parts of Massachusetts as well. We also have heat advisories in effect for portions on Missouri in areas around there, some of the surrounding states are heating the seas are expected to approach 105 degrees. excessive heat warnings in effect for the desert southwest. Once again, temperatures are expected to approach 110 degrees or higher in some locations up to 115 degrees. In some areas. This Chicago area continues to remain under a hot and humid weather pattern. And it's gonna stay that way for the next several days. We're looking at Afternoon highs for tomorrow szabist and Sunday calling all those days highs in the low 90s. That front, it's as if it's like unbeliev it's amazing because, okay, we have a front that pushes through kind of pushes through and you know, Monday, it's already August 30. So it makes sense that we should finally start to see a fund kind of push through, but it doesn't really make it through and even by September 1, it kind of makes it through for Chicago. So Chicago, we're going to have, perhaps some of us might be aware that you know what, we're not going to be aware of it at all, we are going to be north of the front, but the humidity stays behind here in the Chicago area. It remains humid, even on Wednesday, that looks like Tuesday will be even Tuesday, Monday is that day, Monday is that day, we're gonna might seek some less humid conditions on Monday, the front doesn't get south of us for Tuesday and Wednesday. But it's more of a classic July set up for that front doesn't really go too far down south, and looks like it's just gonna head right back up north. That's what it kind of looks like. But we're gonna have to see really what happens. I know there are some forecasts which are starting to throw in some 70s when you go beyond the seven day forecast cycle, but you know, those seven days had been there for a while every beyond the seven day forecast cycle, they keep throwing in 70s. But at the last minute, it ends up that the front actually never does make it south of Chicago, or doesn't make it far enough South that we actually get into the cool and Canadian Air. So this is certainly an unsafe and unusually humid, summer really,Unknown 7:41I would say very humid summer. And we've seen dew points in the 70s for 75% of the days in August, I think I think we've seen dew points in the 70s. And it's a similar situation for the month of July. In June, probably about 50% of the days in June, we were seeing we were influenced by Gulf Coast Air, we were under the influence of a Bermuda high in one shape or form of another. And again that rises about 75% for July and August. That's according to the statistics that I saw from the Joliet weather station pretty close to the Chicago and anyways, I think that will cover it for right now. The highlights over here are the excessive heat developing in the desert southwest, the hurricane that is expected to form and affect the Louisiana and Mississippi area. And the heat advisories which are going to be expiring Friday evening which are now for the St. Louis area and Missouri and some of the surrounding states along with Providence, Rhode Island but a little bit less intensity over there. As they finish up with their very humid conditions. We have cooler air coming in for the East Coast for the weekend and next week, but it's possible that only the New England area is going to get a real feel for the cooler air. That's what it seems like most of the East Coast is not really going to get in on the action at all. And probably will see more heat and humidity returned to the region after the hurricane Idaho moves off weekends in this country and moves off the sea. Everyone stay safe. Those who are in Louisiana probably just evacuated if you're in Louisiana and Mississippi, but the storm has not intensified yet. So I wish everybody a wonderful night and have a great weekend and have a wonderful szabistThis transcript was generated by https://otter.ai
