Side loved your advice matt. M i was just thinking as matt as was reporting that the lastng tt time he reported and then his story led into me it was aboutme snow and getting people to volunteer to shove we pay a very close attention to the dewpoints in the heatpoin wave. When theyre in the 50s as you can see north and west iee a thats not terrible bute but already were climbing into the mid 60s here locally and so what does that mean . Well,te it helps us factor in the heatt index or how it feels to youreey body and so our 89 degreesgr feels like 91. Thats not terrible but it isuti going to be getting worse as wse you know. 88 is what the heat index is in manassas and tomorrow wew we really get things escalatingsc very quickly. Uickly. I just wanted to show youho y where that heat is coming is co from. Cincinnati is 90. Ncinna the only reason detroit is 73 i is because theyve had some h big thunderstorms up there up te cooling them off but check out wichita 103, 97 for saintorai louis. I find off and saint louis l temperature the day before is usually ours the next day when w the wind is in the direction its going to be coming. 101 for del rio. R 98 for lincoln nebraska. Minneapolis 93. Ea gives you an idea that the big b heat is going to be pushing inn our direction tomorrow. Tomorro. Just to give you an idea of of tomorrows high mid and up are 90s and thats s just the beginning of what we wa think will be seven days in ae e he row of pretty intense heat.
