Now, ahead of the storms,
00:01
we were talking a lot about the
00:03
building heat and it's been kind
00:05
of one of the bigger stories here
00:07
over the last few days and you
00:10
can see why yesterday we were
00:12
reaching highs in the triple digits
00:14
in areas like Omaha even further
00:16
north Sioux Falls at 92 Chicago,
00:18
93 and Indianapolis even coming in
00:20
with a very toasty high of 91.
00:22
Now if we look at where our highs
00:24
or our temperatures are now,
00:26
they're even hotter than where
00:28
those highs were yesterday, Chicago 95.
00:30
So you'll see that stark contrast.
00:32
It's a whole different story
00:33
here from Bismarck to Rapid City.
00:35
That's where highs are in the 70s,
00:37
even 60s right now,
00:39
so a very stark difference from the
00:41
Plains versus the Midwest and parts
00:43
of the Great Lakes because that's
00:45
where our dew points like Jeff was
00:48
just showing you are in the 70s.
00:50
So it is a swamp out there.
00:52
Men, Minneapolis tomorrow.
00:54
Tomorrow is going to be a
00:56
Minneapolis tomorrow.
00:56
Much better when it comes to the
00:59
temperatures though we're still
01:00
tracking that threat for some strong
01:02
storms will hit a high of 80 not too
01:04
far from where we typically are for
01:06
this time of year though Indianapolis.
01:08
I can't say the same for you.
01:10
We're reaching a high of 96.
01:12
We're running well above where we
01:14
typically sit Milwaukee or at 93,
01:16
even Omaha at 89,
01:17
though you'll note that those
01:19
stormy icons stay in the picture.
01:20
That heat continues to expand here
01:22
as we head into Tuesday and
01:24
from the Laurel Highlands,
01:26
the spine of the Appalachians down
01:28
through Washington DC, Virginia Beach,
01:31
Roanoke.
01:31
It's going to be hot.
01:33
Accuweather real field temperatures
01:35
running past 95 degrees.
01:36
That includes the Ohio Valley,
01:38
Western Pennsylvania,
01:39
Pittsburgh going to be feeling
01:41
that heat tomorrow,
01:42
though where we have the highest heat,
01:45
the core of the heat.
01:47
We're going to be seeing a lot of
01:49
rain and a lot of sunshine.
01:52
Highest heat, the core of the heat.
01:54
That's an area like Saint Louis.
01:56
I'm not jealous of you.
01:58
Accuweather real field temperatures
02:00
reaching 105 to 110 degrees.
02:01
Try to beat that heat.
02:03
I know you'll be sweating it out.
