Here's the area at least for now where we think temperatures are going to be between 90 and 100
00:06
degrees. Detroit, Columbus, back toward Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City, coastal New
00:12
England. You may be spared the worst of the heat as there should be an easterly flow. Boy, the
00:17
increased demand for cooling is going to be a problem here and this could have some impacts
00:23
on the power grid as well. I want to show you some of our temperatures here as we go forward.
00:27
Take a look at Philadelphia as we move in the next week. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
00:31
above 90. I think this streak of 1, 2, 3, 4 can go to 6 or even 7 as the heat would likely continue
00:39
in the next weekend. Notice Detroit, middle 90s beginning on Monday lasting through Thursday. Here
00:45
too, I can see how the heat continues into the weekend. Now, this heat, it all depends on the
00:52
strength and the aerial coverage of this upper high which begins on Monday to build across parts
00:59
of Tennessee and Kentucky. There are two scenarios with this heat wave. Here's our first scenario and
01:05
we're hoping that this is the one that is correct. That is the upper high which is going to really
01:10
cause the heat is more localized. So the heat is localized to the parts of the Ohio Valley and
01:16
into the Northeast where temperatures are 90 to 100 degrees. There would be some, at least the
01:21
possibility, of some localized power disruptions because of not only the heat during the day but
01:27
temperatures at night in the 70s. This is the worst case scenario and this is a possibility.
01:32
The upper high is a lot stronger. With that, many areas in this red could be approaching 100 degrees
01:38
and if that's the case, we could be looking at regional power disruptions. This is a possibility.
