Hurricane forms near Hawaii overnight

And this morning, a reminder that we are still in the thick of hurricane season. Tropical storm Jone have reached a hurricane status overnight. According to the central Pacific Hurricane center Jone had winds of 80 MPH at last check. It's a couple 100 miles from Honolulu right now. The island is under a tropical storm warning. Total rainfall from the storm could reach up to 12 inches. All right here, a meteorologist, Carl Rob, I think it's a reminder that a lot of people like to travel now that, you know, kids are back in school, but like you said, we're still in the thick of hurricane season. Yeah, that's why I say, I always say if you're headed anywhere tropical during the summer, uh, travel insurance is a good idea because, you know, it's that time of year where storms could impact where you're headed. The chances are low, but you don't want to find out, you know, the, if you've gone there and you're trapped or you're trying to get a last minute flight out or, or you wanna go somewhere and, you know, storm heads that way, you know, Hawaii, uh can, can get some wind and rain and waves from, uh, from tropical storms and hurricanes. But usually they don't take the complete brunt of the storm like some of the Caribbean Islands can. But that's where things are active at the moment, is in the, uh, eastern Pacific and in the Central Pacific right now, I got the two storms out there, Jone, which we talked about and Gilma a category four storm at the moment in the Atlantic, which is the where storms, you know, threaten the mainland us and the Caribbean as well. All is quiet right now. Nothing going on at the moment, which is good news, but that will likely be changing at some point here over the next several weeks because we're still in the thick of hurricane season. In fact, we haven't even hit the peak of Atlantic hurricane season yet. We're through Ernesto at the moment. Next list on the name or our next name on the list will be Francine. But at the moment, all is quiet, but the hurricane season peaks on September 10th. So we're not even there yet. And then you can still have quite a bit of activity all the way through the month of October. So we'll continue to keep an eye on that even though things have been quiet recently, does not necessarily mean that things are going to stay quiet through the rest of, uh, the hurricane season. I think that's pretty unlikely that we will stay completely like, uh, quiet through September and in October. So we'll keep an eye on that for any of those storms, uh, that are brewing out in the Atlantic. But none immediately you and T and Denton, 80 degrees feels like 83. Nothing but sunshine overhead. Dallas Baptist University, 77 feeling like 79. We'll have a lot of sunshine headed your way today, but we should stay below 100 degrees. Gone. Are the heat advisories gone? Are the excessive heat warnings? I think it's been a little while since we uh, have not had any heat advisory or excessive heat warning in place in any part of North Texas. But we have that going for us right now. They've shifted up toward Wichita Falls pretty much all of Oklahoma underneath the heat advisory. And then there you go, those excessive heat warnings for the upper Midwest and also the northern plains there. I said this yesterday. You can have a good idea of where high pressure is located or where that heat dome is located by just looking at the map and where heat warnings and excessive heat advisors are place. And when I show you where high pressure is located, yeah, it shifted to the north of North Texas and it's gonna hang out in that area through the upcoming week, maybe drifting off to the east a little bit as we head toward the midweek time frame doesn't mean that we're gonna immediately cool off. But most of this week our highs should be held below 100 degrees. And as high pressure really shifts away late week and into the weekend, that'll open the door for an unsettled pattern to return. I have rain and I have cooler temperatures on the way through Labor Day. Now, is it gonna be, uh, you know, really cool and fall? Like, probably not. But by the time we head through next weekend, at least have most of Texas and most of North Texas picking up some sort of rain a little early to fine tune exact totals at the moment. We will iron out timing. We'll iron out coverage as we head through the upcoming week. But here's hoping for maybe a quarter or a half an inch for, uh, quite a few of you with maybe a little higher totals here or there. What I do know is the fact that we'll have rain around and the fact that we'll have a little more cloud cover around that will help hold down the temperature. In the meantime, it's upper nineties getting close to that 100 degree mark, but I do think we stay below it, but then it's 95 Saturday, 94 Sunday, 92 Sunday. My Labor Day forecast a high of only 90 right now, but it does come with a 40% coverage of showers and storms. I wouldn't cancel any Labor Day plans at this point. Uh, just keep we will absolutely just keep an eye on the forecast as we get closer, uh, for any timing coverage of that rain. But as of now, it looks like just some scattered stuff around, uh, through the weekend, which wouldn't warrant, you know, completely canceling any plans, but you might have to work on some changes as we get closer, but that's still a week away. We'll keep an eye on it.
