Dangerous Weekend Heat

SO KEVIN’S WATCHING IT. WE’RE ALL OUT. IS WOW SCARY ENOUGH TO BE ON THE GROUND, BUT THEN TO BE IN THE SKY WHEN YOU’RE SEEING THIS. I MEAN THAT THAT’S SOME IMPRESSIVE LIGHTNING RIGHT THERE. YEAH, FORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, THOSE WERE INDIVIDUAL STORMS RIGHT AND NOT JUST LIKE A LINE OF STORMS SO THEY COULD NAVIGATE AROUND IT SAFELY, BUT IT WAS REALLY COOL TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE LIGHTNING CONFINED TO THE INDIVIDUAL UPDRAFT OR BASICALLY SHAFT OF THE THUNDERSTORM ITSELF. SO WE MAY HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCATTERED STORMS OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND, ALTHOUGH BASED OFF WHAT I’M SEEING HERE LATE TONIGHT AT SOME LATE NIGHT COMPUTER MODEL DATA STARTS TO COME IN. I’M KIND OF LOWERING THE RAIN THREAT NOW, THAT’S THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THE FORECAST THE DOWNSIDE TO LOWERING THE RAIN THREAT MEANS THAT WE ARE UPPING THE INTENSITY OF THE HEAT THIS WEEKEND. WE’VE BEEN SAYING IT WAS GOING TO BE A DANGEROUSLY HOT WEEKEND AND A SCORCHER OF A WEEKEND, BUT THAT IS LOOKING MORE LIKE A CERTAINTY NOW THAT IT IS GOING TO BE PARTICULARLY DANGEROUSLY HOT SATURDAY AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE UNCOMFORTABLY WARM, I GUESS BECAUSE NIGHT OUR DEW POINTS HAVEN’T FALLEN. IN FACT, THEY ARE RUNNING MUCH HIGHER THAN ANYTHING ELSE IS SUGGESTED. SO FOR THAT REASON, I’VE ACTUALLY MOVED UP THE UNCOMFORTABILITY LEVEL I GUESS A LITTLE BIT FOR THE WEEKEND. SO TOMORROW WE SHOULD TAP OUT IN THE LOW 90S WITH A HEAT INDEX THAT MAXES OUT SOMEWHERE ABOUT 94 MAYBE 95 DEGREES THERE. BUT THEN SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, I SUSPECT WE’LL PROBABLY HAVE SOME TYPE OF HEAT HEADLINES. FIND OURSELVES UNDER A HEAT ADVISORY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID-90S AND WE START TO HAVE THAT OPPRESSIVE HUMIDITY BACK AGAIN THOSE DEW POINTS IN THE 70S IN MID-70S. SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE UNCOMFORTABLY HUMID AND DANGEROUSLY HOT THIS WEEKEND. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I’VE LOWERED THE RAIN IMPACTS ON SATURDAY MORNING. IN FACT, THERE’S A CHANCE THAT THE RAIN MAY STAY ALL TO OUR NORTH ON SATURDAY MORNING. THAT’S WHY I’M RAMPING UP THE HEAT POTENTIAL SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AND THEN AGAIN, IT LOOKS TO BE SUNDAY MAINLY PROBABLY AFTER DARK BEFORE WE GET ANY STORM CHANCES. SO THE MAJORITY OF THE WEEKEND IS LOOKING HOT AND DRY FOR US. SO AGAIN TONIGHT, IT’S STILL HUMID OUT THERE. WE MAY SEE HUMIDITY LEVELS DIP A LITTLE BIT MORE TOMORROW, BUT I’M NOT TERRIBLY OPTIMISTIC THAT IT’S GOING TO FEEL MUCH BETTER THAN IT DOES RIGHT. NOW. THIS MAY BE AS GOOD AS IT GETS BEFORE IT GETS WORSE ON SATURDAY AND THEN CERTAINLY BY SUNDAY. IN FACT, I THINK SATURDAY IT MAY BE OPPRESSIVE OUT THERE. THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT. OUT NOTICE. OUR DEW POINTS ARE STILL HOVERING IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S TONIGHT, AND THERE’S NO PUSH YOU LOOK THROUGH, INDIANA YOU LOOK FOR ILLINOIS. YOU LOOK FOR SOME SIGNS OF SOME DRIER AIR TO TRY TO GET IN HERE AND I JUST DON’T SEE IT. SO I THINK WE MAY BE FEELING AS GOOD AS IT’S GOING TO GET RIGHT NOW. OUTSIDE 76 TONIGHT. WE’VE GOT A SOUTH WIND AT THE MOMENT TEMPERATURES. WELL, THEY’RE WARM OF COURSE WITH THE AIR STILL A LITTLE HUMID OUT THERE. THEY’RE NOT FALLING THAT MUCH. SO WE’RE IN THE MID 70S NOW PROBABLY ONLY GOING TO GET INTO THE UPPER 60S BY MORNING IF THAT HERE’S FUTURECAST HOT SUNSHINE FOR THE DAY TOMORROW AROUND THE AREA. HERE’S 7:30 TOMORROW EVENING CINCINNATI MUSIC FESTIVAL BE PREPARED TO SWEAT OUT THERE AT THE STADIUM A LITTLE RELIEF ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN NOW THIS WANTS TO BRING COMPLEX A STORM SATURDAY MORNING. I’M BEGINNING TO FEEL MORE CONFIDENT IN THE FACT THAT IT STAYS NORTH PROBABLY EVEN FARTHER NORTH THAN YOU’RE SEEING IT HERE AND AS A RESULT WE END UP WARM AND STEAMY ON SATURDAY MORNING ALREADY OFF TO A WARM START AND THEN IT ONLY GETS HOTTER FROM THERE. SO BASICALLY YOUR WEEKEND FEELS LIKE MAYBE IT’S MAX OUT AROUND 100 TO 103 SATURDAY. MAYBE FEELING LIKE AS HIGH AS 105 MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE HOTTER ON SUNDAY. SO DANGEROUS HEAT IS THE WEEKEND THEME. NOT AS WARM TONIGHT THAT’S COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING TO LAST NIGHT. IT’S STILL WARM OUT 91 TOMORROW HOT SUNSHINE AND HUMID. HERE’S YOUR DAY PLANNER. THERE YOU GO AGAIN GET READY FOR A SCORCHER OF A WEEKEND HERE IN THE TRI-STATE YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST SHAKING OUT LIKE THIS 93 SATURDAY 95 ON SUNDAY AGAIN HEAT LIKELY TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AROUND THE AREA AND THEN BETTER STORM CHANCES PROBABLY STARTING SOMETIME LATE SUNDAY EVENING OR NIGHT AND THEN WHEN RAIN CHANCES NEXT WEEK SHOULD KEEP THE HEAT DOWN AND KEEP US OUT OF THE 90S MOST OF NEXT WEEK, BUT IT WILL BE VERY HUMID A LOT OF CHANCES FOR THAT STUFF N
