We're also watching barrel very closely and it's actually being
steered by some of that heat.
You've got a tropical storm right now that's sitting in
the Gulf of Mexico.
It's sitting about 540 miles South and east of Corpus
Christi with 60 mile per hour winds.
And we'll continue to kind of regain strength here because
we're still talking about water temperatures that are incredibly hot,
much hotter than they usually are for this time of
year.
So that's going to let it re intensify into a
hurricane and start to hit the Texas coastline.
Probably going late Sunday into Monday is when we're looking
at that landfill.
Hurricane watches are in effect from Brownsville up into Corpus
Christi as this thing continues.
Make a turn kind of hugging Texas impacts from Austin
to Houston.
As we go into the week here,
we're looking at the again,
the likelihood of tropical storm force winds increasing for places
from Corpus Christi to Victoria,
TX and over into Houston.
Storm surge up to three feet possible kind of coming
into the the the coastline here from Galveston down towards
Corpus Christi.
That could be a problem with some flooding as well.
And then on top of that,
we're looking at some 5 to 10 inches of rain
possible.
Look at that swath of heavy rain kind of hogging
probably just east to the tracks.
So even some places. You know,
like Austin and Houston could get in on some of
those heavy downpours as well,
depending on the exact where the exact center of the
storm winds up lining up.
And we also have this kind of spinning storm making
landfall.
So we often can get a risk for tornadoes.
So we're already finding a slight level two out of
five severe risk for tornadoes as we go into Sunday,
even Monday, because you've got this spinning storm system.
As I mentioned, we have these two huge heat domes,
areas of high pressure. That's what steering barrel kind of
right in between them.
Into the heart of Texas,
the heat Dome to the West has all these excessive
heat warnings that will go well into next week.
We're talking about multiple days of excessive heat warnings.
That's the problem with this is you get no relief
day-to-day and no relief at night.
Temperatures in the triple digits,
You know, Las Vegas up towards 118°,
which would break all time records,
112 in Bakersfield. Even Sacramento still up near 100° by
next Wednesday.
This extreme heat, it causes heat sickness.
It can be lethal and deadly.
The Weather Service in Sacramento has been using such strong
language because again,
we're talking about all time temperatures being broken.
And no relief at night just really causes a problem
for heat sickness.
