Record Heat Continues

The National Weather Service has issued a HEAT ADVISORY in effect until 8pm tomorrow. This includes the metroplex and surrounding counties. The complete county list:

Denton, Collin, Tarrant, Dallas, Rockwall, Johnson, Ellis, Bosque, Hill, and McLennan.

Since the forecast calls for a rain chance of under 10% each day we'll not include a chance of much needed rain. 99% of the state of Texas is in drought. Tomorrow's high should hit about 102° with a south wind 10-15mph and mostly sunny skies.

 The streak continues of 100 degree weather. We hit 102 today.

 The numbers are now 22, 29, 5, 19… As in 22^nd day in a row, 29^th time this year, 5^th on list of record consecutive days, 19^th on the list of number of 100 days in a year.

 Forecast tomorrow? Yes.. 100 degree weather. Same forecast for the next 7 days.

 If indeed we hit the mark every day until NEXT Sunday (a week from tomorrow)  we'll end up 2nd on the all-time list of consecutive days of 100 plus weather. This run would have to go to August 13^th to tie the all-time record of 42 days in a row set back in 1980.

 If we finish out this month with 100 degree days:

 We would also be 2^nd on the list of number of 100 degree days in any one month. Back in 1980 EVERY day in July hit triple numbers. July 1^st it was a mere 98° this year.

 We would be 10^th on the list of all time occurrences in any one year.
