breaks of sunlight, but it is not necessarily going to last forever. switching gears though, let's talk about what's coming down the road here. so, in the g on storm scan3 at the moment, we've got some heavy rain just off the gulf coast here we had talked last week about tropical threat t does not look like that's going to actually take shape thank goodness, but that said, we've got different issue when it comes to the heat and the building humidity for our area. heavy thunderstorms picking up north of a ridge of high pressure that's building. that's what is leading to so much heat that's currently leading to numerous heat advisories, and excessive heat warnings down across the deep south here. so that's where those alerts are confined for now heat will migrate towards us dallas, new orleans, all right now into the low 90s and eventually, with time, that's going to be the story here. as this ridge migrates east we heat up significantly. we will not only hit the 90s when it comes to the thermometer, but end one heat

looks like two days, at least at least flirt with or surpass the century mark. so plan for it now guys, if you don't have your fan in working order, you don't have your air conditioner hook up to the window, whenever you need it do, next couple every days will get steamy. we talk future weather jump you forward to 2:00 p.m. today. this is how we think it will sort of look on the radar. scattered, not widespread wash out like we had roll through this morning. but, the scattered pockets every locally very heavy rain, are likely to fire up here. even in toward the early evening, that will be the concern, even tomorrow, there is some indication on couple of computer models we might even have lingering shower, not huge deal, today was definitely the wettest of the next few. i wouldn't call this is the prettiest beach day but steamy outside. temperatures top off in the 80s, uv index eight moderate rip countries being always we say it all the time swim near the lifeguards specially when you have that kind of risk going on. here we go. tuesday, wednesday and thursday, back into the low

and mid 90s for our area. at this point, it does appear as though wednesday and thursday are going to be the hottest and most steamy days of our forecast. so, as we look ahead to thursday notice, there is thunderstorm on that icon there. that's when our next cold front comes along more than anything it, wipes out some of the humidity, but we are in for what looks to be a very, very steamy couple every days coming up here. >> finally feeling like july again. >> sure s we got very spoiled last week. >> we'll be back with more right after
