temperatures taking hold across portions of the pacific northwest, the northern plains. so all the heat is really across the south under that dome of high pressure, that heat dome that we ve been calling it, 100 plus records potentially broken throughout the weekend, maximum, and highest minimum teo be huge, these overnight temperatures aren t cooling off very much, and so that s what s making the heat even more dangerous. so high temperatures saturday, 102 in little rock. should be at 93. dallas hitting 107 through the weekend, around ten degrees above normal, del rio, hitting close to 110. so just incredibly hot temperatures. feels like temperatures this afternoon, 112 in shreveport. feeling like 112 in new orleans. and then talking about phoenix, phoenix has been one of the highlighted cities for the extreme temperatures, average temperature 102.7. this is for july, breaking a
temperature, 102.7 for july, breaking a record. previous record was 99. so really shattering that record. we hit 119 three times this year. we saw 17 days with temperatures above 115 and 31 consecutive days with temperatures above 110. so 41 consecutive days with temperatures of 105 or higher. that broke a record. the previous was 34 days. phoenix will stay above 110 possibly getting at 110 or below by the time we get to the end of the seven-day period. we will have to wait and see how that comes through. switching gears, we have excessive rainfall risks for the weekend, mainly for the northern plains portions of the midwest and could see the potential for flooding, these storms are riding along this boundary that is stretching from the plains pushing into the midwest saturday through sunday and
search. this weekend, covid cases hitting another grim high, as students from arizona to florida head back to school. the u.s. now averaging more than 100,000 cases a day. double what it was just two weeks ago. thousands on saturday, waiting to be tested. last couple of days haven t been feeling well. last night i had a 102.7 fever. baltimore announcing they will reimpose mask mandates on monday, requiring the vaccinated to mask indoors again. florida is now recording more positive cases than at any other time during the pandemic. but governor ron desantis is threatening to cut funding from any school district that requires students to mask. amy mat lock is just one parent concerned about unmasked classmates. if there is no mask mandate in the school, you re not necessarily going to send your kid back. i don t feel safe sending them back without a mask mandate. hospitals across the south are increasingly overwhelmed.
