Episode Synopsis

Unknown 0:01Good morning, everyone. It is April 21. Thursday. Yeah, Thursday morning. And we have something phenomenal which will be taking place over the next couple of days and I'm not referring to the storm system developing often the Dakotas are actually developing just to the west of that pushing into South Dakota, which will be likely bringing perhaps a snow storm up six to 12 inches for the second half of the weekend. A rain or ice storm, perhaps flooding as well for the first half of the weekend. We're not referring to that, referring to the dew points to the humidity. Take a look at Nebraska for tomorrow we have the dry line which is situated somewhere in Nebraska from the eastern part of the state to the western part of the state. You have the dry line in between. We have dew points in North Platte, Nebraska, going down into the low to mid 20s for tomorrow afternoon. But dew points in the east part in Nebraska in the low to mid 60s, low 60s, perhaps mid 60s. So you wonder how could temperatures in North Platte Nebraska get into the 90s? Well, that's why the air is so dry, the sun is super efficient and heating things up. In eastern Nebraska, we also might see temperatures very close to 90. What's going on in eastern Nebraska is a lot more impressive. Really, once you look at the dew point, it's a lot more impressive than what's going on in western Nebraska. You have dew points in the low 60s. And still temperatures are forecast to make it very close to 90 degrees. Even though dew points are 40 degrees higher in eastern Nebraska. That's something really phenomenal. You know, if you look at let's take a city in the summertime like St. Louis, Missouri, and you look at the days when it hit that say 104 degrees such as August 17, back in 2003, or 2004, I believe. You take a look at that and you'll see 2003 2003 Let's say you take a look at that. And you'll see how temperature the dew point temperatures were in the 60s in the morning, temperatures were whatever they were. And right before as the temperatures were going way up to 104. The dew points were dropping quickly, probably about one or two degrees per every degree Fahrenheit went up. So perhaps even two degrees. So you have it's very significant. Dew point is a form of energy just like temperature, so the dew point drops, all that energy gets transferred into the temperature, the temperature goes up so you have a 40 degree difference in dew point, you would think there would be an enormous difference in temperature as well. You would think it would be something like what happens in Texas, Houston, Texas, you'll have highs in the mid 90s Rio Grande village, Texas you have a high about 110 degrees. Sometimes even hotter, you have a 15 degree difference between the two cities. One city is getting blasted with humidity off the Gulf of Mexico and talk about being blessed with humidity. The real city that gets blasted with humidity is Galveston, Texas and Corpus Christi, Texas, when it gets humid, those are really the most though the humidity in those places is really top notch in this country even higher than South Florida on the weather map tomorrow. Even in Florida dew points are only going to be around 60 degrees, that until you enter the Miami area, then you start to approach 70 degrees. If you look at the Midwest, it's not just eastern Nebraska, the whole Midwest, even Louisiana, two points in the low 60s, low 60s. That's what it shows on the windy.com European computer model, whatever version of European computer model that is, that's what it shows for the dew points for tomorrow, that thing tends to be pretty accurate. That's what I've noticed. So you have the dew points down there, right around 60 degrees. I don't know why they're so low, perhaps the water temperatures just haven't heated up yet. Or maybe the wind flow is not really off the Gulf yet, although they it will be so but in any case, you have dew points in the low 60s by the Gulf states those...
