545. >> Now, on this final Friday morning as you take a look, we do have this alert continuing today because the temperatures could be up to near 115. That feels like temperature through the day ahead. Now here's our alert area. We're going to highlight it for you. You can see it's through 9:00. The majority of North Texas, because of the actual temperature 105 to 108. In some spots, feeling like 115. This is going to be a dangerously hot day. Oppressive heat here for us. So take breaks inside or stay inside if you can limit your time outdoors. The eastern sides of North Texas under a heat advisory because it feels like temperature up to 108. So we're going to be dealing with the really hot conditions in place. Stationary front lifting its way to the north and the east. Now as a warm front kind of continuing to pull its way through parts of the metroplex. We have some cloud cover in place this morning, and I expect to see that mix of sun and clouds through the start of the day. But more sunshine this afternoon. We're at 83 right now with a southeast wind at 13. Temperatures right now are cooler to the northeast, still north and east of the warm front. That's starting to lift its way through. We're at 77 in Greenville, but 75 in Paris. But look at Breckenridge, 85 or 84 in Fort Worth, but feeling like 91. So the humidity is in place and I expect that dew. The dew point, the measure of the moisture in the atmosphere to remain in the mid 70s to the low 70s this afternoon. So this morning, 83 to 84 at the bus stop. Parents but pay attention to this after school today you're picking up kids. It's going to be a day that it's going to be pretty hot. Temperature 101 to 103. I'm giving it a C for caution because of the dangerous heat that's on the way. We're going to be at 103 in Denton to 107 in Mineral Wells. A little bit cooler to the east. Greenville 98, Terrell 98 Breckenridge. The high temperature today, close to 110 degrees. The feels like temperature, though. That's what's also changed for today because that moisture has increased. It could feel like 111 in Denton to 109 in Mineral Wells, to 104 in Greenville. So please pay attention. Now notice tomorrow it comes down just a little bit, as the axis of high pressure is a little further to the north and east. But look at that measure of moisture. Here we go into the afternoon hours 70 to 70 3 to 72. In some spots. So that's what's playing for us in play through the day today. High pressure continues to lift its way toward the north and east, as this area of low pressure over the Pacific Northwest starts to dig in a little bit more. So as this axis of high pressure shifts to the northeast, that has a break in our heat a little bit. Now it's still going to be hot going into next week. You see this on the first alert seven day forecast. We're at a 100 on Saturday.
