Let me show you this because you said that. Uh we used to go to church together. So how much rain have we picked up this month? Just a third of an inch. We're below normal by an inch and 1/10 which is not that unusual during the month of August, but our summer's been great so far. 6.5 inches below normal. That's not bad for the summer. Uh 6/10 of an inch of rain this year, 31 and over 31.5. So we're below nor we're above normal. I should say our surplus is uh just or eight inches of rain but drought, it's been dry lately. As you just saw in those numbers, we have a moderate drought that's uh engulfed a large part of the metroplex. I'd say maybe 50% of uh North Texas right now experiencing drought conditions. It's the worst drought conditions we've had since the middle of December. And as you look out to the uh down to the south, down around San Antonio, west of there, west northwest of there, they're experiencing right now. Extreme drought out in far west Texas. This burgundy that's exceptional drought. That's the worst drought classification we have so far. West Texas, it's bad. Southeastern New Mexico, it's bad as well. But you take a look a little closer here. Drought conditions exist and it's that time of year. It's our fire season in uh North Texas and across the entire state for that matter, very hot conditions, low humidity, dry vegetation, west of uh Fort Worth, you're looking at uh a fire danger. It's an elevated fire danger. And I don't see that changing for the next about the next 456 days. We also have North Texas burn bans in place, check with your county for the latest but the majority, not all, but I, I don't know, three quarters or so of a North Texas right now under burn bans. Those that aren't, I'm sure will soon be uh given the fact that I just don't have any rain in my forecast for the for the next 67 days, had a little uh uh upper level disturbance. Ok. A little actually, a little outflow boundary has triggered some thunderstorms out here out in the parts of the big country. The Concho Valley, a lightning strike actually has started a fire out by possum kingdom. So again, we have some pretty dry conditions, those thunderstorms that are well to the west of Fort Worth and Dallas Fort Worth, they will end here in the next hour or so. But some lightnings created some problems the monsoon will flow across the Rockies from the southern to the central to the northern Rockies. That's in place. Big ridge of high pressure. This is our summertime heat dome that we just, I don't know, kind of the, I don't know, it's the bane of our existence sometime in the summer that shifts off to the east of us. We're still gonna stay hot. We're still gonna be dry, humid for now. Temperatures, upper nineties to around 100 late August into, uh, let's say maybe the Labor Day weekend and we have a chance of a little bit of rain, but I don't have much uh, in the way of rain. But I have this, temperatures are trending down. They're still hot though as we head through the middle of next week, middle to upper nineties to 100. That's our forecast high as we head through tomorrow. So my forecast tonight, warm humid light winds 70 nines a low tonight during the day. Tomorrow, mostly sunny, a dry, hot, humid, breezy day, we hit 100 tomorrow. We're all under a heat advisor. Tomorrow. Heat index values 105 or hotter. There's the next 14 nineties, but look, the temperatures slowly trend down. They're still hot as we head through the next uh, 14 days. There's a little bit of rain. I'm talking a pop up shower, thunderstorm, uh the middle and end of next week. That of course is Labor Day weekend. Uh Labor day itself right now, dry sunshine, really a warm day. Uh But again, the rain on Labor Day weekend, it's start late day Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 20% coverage. So most of us are dry, all of us will be really, really warm as we head through the weekend and we stay in the middle nineties. So we finally drop out of the upper nineties, 100 to upper nineties and we trend down into the middle nineties. So we're going the right direction. And typically that time of years as we head into the first week of September, that's the way it goes. Not always, but that's the way it looks right now.
