You can withstand 108 better than you can 120 or 125. And they can have the hottest temperatures in the world at 134. So that's why they call it Death Valley. But not recently. Where is it hot? From the Rockies, just east of the Rockies, all the way to the East Coast. It is humid. It is hot. Temperatures in the upper 90s, low 100s. In fact, the center of the high pressure right now is over the East Coast, around the Carolinas. They're gonna have heat index values of 115 or higher today. By tomorrow, that high starts to move back to the west. Now, right now, I have a temperature of, we see, 83.1, and it feels like 92. Now, that is hot, and that's a heat index. However, this week, I've had temperatures at this time of the day that were 85, 86 degrees, and it felt like 105, 106. So it is better today because that high is pinched off to the east. Tomorrow, that starts to move back toward the west, toward California, but it's gotta come back through here again, and it's gonna heat things up for the next couple of days again in the middle of the country. We could come under heat indexes that could be up to 115, maybe 120, with temperatures in the 90s. So that means your two points go back up into the 80s. We're gonna get some thunderstorms maybe today, and a few less tomorrow because that high starts to move back over the top of us in sinking air. By the end of next week, though, if that high does move back toward California, they start to come under that more heating in California, we start to cool off because we get a low pressure that comes down from Canada. We get a low pressure area that comes down from Canada, might bring us some cooler and might bring us some rain at first, some good rain and thunderstorms, and then some cooler, drier air by next weekend, and we could use it. This is the 25th day of heat index values that will be over 100 for us. So we really need a break, but it will be a little cooler today and then start heating up again tomorrow as that high starts to move west again. Retrogression of that big high pressure area. Tropics, nothing big going on in the tropics. There's a storm off the, there's a low off the coast of Hawaii that has a 40 to 50% chance of becoming a tropical disturbance in the Pacific. Nothing in the Atlantic because they have Saharan dust layer that's moving, and that chokes off all tropical situations in the Atlantic when they get Saharan dust off of the Saharan desert moving through the Caribbean and into the east coast. Lots of high pressure chokes that all off. Back to you there, Orion, WB6DJ.
