Well, stargazers, y'all are gonna be over the moon tonight with that super blue moon. So make sure you look up. Yeah, people have. It's so funny. Where do I look well up? Oh, well, they want to know. Is there a certain time a certain? No, no, no, no. They said no. Where do I look in the sky? That's been the question. And I'm like, OK and I've been, you know what? I, I've turned over a new leaf. I've just, I said you just look right up in the sky. Now, the old Pete would have had a little, you know, caustic, sarcastic rejoinder. The old Pete would have said, you know, do you not have Google? But the New Pete now just gives answers. I, that kind. Yes, Mother Teresa. I'm trying to uh just channel her Cynthia. Let me show you this outside right now. Uh that we did it today, you know what the high was today? Cynthia uh 107. There you go. 107 on August 19th yesterday. 104, the day before 101102. So here's our heat streak right here. You can call it a heat wave, whatever you want. It's above normal temperatures. A string of triple digits. There we are. We got 357 of those in a row. I think we're gonna do it again tomorrow. My high tomorrow is 101. So if you look at, uh, what we have our triple digit streak, it's seven days in a row through through today. The most in a row. Our consecutive triple digit streak was 42 days back in 1980. A streaks of seven days or longer have occurred 70 times. So, listen, if you're new to Dallas, Fort Worth, if you're new to North Texas or the state of Texas every summer's hot, some are just more brutal than the others. And we've had a pretty hot streak that we're starting to slowly wind down, but we have another triple digit day on the way tomorrow. We still have that excessive heat warning in effect until, uh, about seven o'clock eight o'clock tonight. Uh, we were not in that criteria, but I only showed you that just because I want you to know the temperatures are still dangerously hot 103 in Dallas, 106 in Fort Worth, the heat index 104 in Dallas. So, so pretty dry air mass in Fort Worth, uh, with the heat, uh, index of 105107 in mckinney 103 in Waxahatchee outside right now at Cedar hill. It's 102. It feels like 104. There's the high of 107. Well, above the normal high, 11 degrees hotter than the normal high of 96. The normal low is 76 this morning it was warm. 83 degrees was the low and the record high today of 108, that was on this date last year, one year ago. Today we hit 108. A year later we do 107104 outside right now. It feels like 106 with the light wind out of the south at six pollen. We have elm pigweed and grass. All three are moderate fungus today. That's on the low side. A few clouds streaming across the area right now. That's all I have in my four cast tonight. Mostly clear skies tonight. Dry, warm, muggy 80 for the low tonight. During the day. Tomorrow, a hot dry day with a light breeze will hit 101 tomorrow. Mostly sunny skies. We're out of the triple digits, barely on Wednesday, 99 triple digits, Thursday, Friday, close to that Saturday, Sunday, Monday. So a little bit of a cool down and I promise, you know, 101 tomorrow will feel a lot better than the 107 today. A little bit of rain. The final seven of the 14 days, I have four days there with 10 to 20% coverage highs those seven days they stay in the upper nineties. So, right now we're at the time of the year where we climatologically start to cool down. But, you know, you can still have, uh, triple digit days in the month of September. But as we head through the rest of August and start September, it's still going to be hot and mainly dry. I was gonna go for a run late this morning and it was already 100 degrees. You still went though. Right. Absolutely not stayed home and did laundry. There you go. Got lots of steps doing that.
