00:00It is the heat, and that's why we have

00:02so many heat alerts out still across

00:05central and eastern Texas.

00:06Now these heat alerts do extend even

00:08further east as well, where we're

00:10tracking some pretty intense heat

00:12there across southern Louisiana,

00:13including some of the southern parishes.

00:15Now, Southern Oklahoma,

00:16you're also in the game here when it

00:18comes to the pretty big heat and

00:21dangerous heat that's all due to

00:23this area of high pressure and this

00:25area of high pressure is anchored.

00:27It's not moving.

00:28It is strong and in charge,

00:30and it's keeping away a lot

00:32of the storms as well.

00:34And as it gets so hot,

00:36we're in record territory,

00:37and these are records that

00:39I wouldn't want to beat.

00:41Now we're continuing to watch

00:43these storms fire off,

00:44but why exactly are they missing

00:46out on parts of most of Texas,

00:48even across the Southern Plains?

00:50The Arklatex?

00:51Well,

00:51that's because that dome of high

00:53pressure is basically dominating

00:55the weather pattern and it's

00:56deflecting a lot of these storms,

00:58keeping them on to that Ridge,

01:00and that's where we have that instability,

01:03and that's where we can have

01:05those storms firing off,

01:06but not within that dome of high pressure.

01:08We're not going to see too many,

01:10so you're not going to catch

01:12too much relief from the heat.

01:14We're even in record territory

01:16as we head into tomorrow.

01:17Phoenix impressive.

01:18We're forecasting a high of 112,

01:20not too far off from that daily

01:22record of 113 set not that long

01:24ago in 2019 Del Rio were forecasting

01:26to be our record with a high of 110.

01:29Even Corpus Christi coming in

01:31with a high of 103 when we look

01:33at where our highs are compared

01:35to where we typically are,

01:36because some people may say that

01:38it's hot across Texas usually right,

01:40but not this hot.

01:42We're running well above our

01:43historical averages in Houston,

01:45Corpus Christi, Del Rio, El Paso,

01:46highs all in the triple digits.

01:48Dallas,

01:49you're at 100 as we head into the afternoon.

01:52Oklahoma City at 93 San Antonio.

01:54San Antonio, your Accuweather

01:55real field temperature tomorrow.

01:57Clocking in at 111 that is

01:58dangerous heat we're talking about.

02:00You're not going to find too much

02:02shade there or a relief in the shade.

02:05Accuweather real shade temperature

02:06at 106 so still going to be hot.

02:09Important to find cooling indoors.

02:10You don't have access to air conditioning.

02:13Go to a library,

02:14go somewhere because that

02:15is some intense heat.

02:16Jeff, I want to go to the pool.

02:19Bree, that's I mean the library I could.

02:21I I order up a pool as well.

02:24Yeah, you can take a library book to

02:26the pool and cool down on both fronts.

02:29How about that? Perfect love it.

02:31Just don't put it in the water.

02:33You're going to have to pay for it

02:35if you put it in the water.
