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 dew points, the air moves north and the dew points remain in the low 60s, even by St. Louis and it remains in the low 60s, even for eastern Nebraska. But actually it's even higher my draycote We're holding on a higher level than that. Because the dew points actually don't just remain in the low 60s. When you get north of St. Louis the dew points actually start to rise into the mid 60s. You'll see dew points 6667 degrees in an actually corresponds to the Corn Belt, the Midwest Corn Belt. Now what's shocking to me the big finish over here. What's the shocker roo there's a tremendous shocker over here, or is there even corn this time of the year is there corn being grown in the fields yet? I don't know. I don't really know. In the summertime This is a normal occurrence. If you have air off of the Gulf of Mexico affecting Iowa, the dew points are going to be highest in Iowa in this country. Dew points go way up. You have dew points. The only area you can get dew points in the 80s in this country besides every now and then in Galveston, Texas, or you know once in a while here and there on the Gulf Coast. In Iowa you'll get dew points well past 80 degrees sometimesUnknown 5:00This past summer a dew point hit 86 degrees in some city in Iowa. That's Persian Gulf stuff. This is Persian Gulf territory where the water temperatures in the Persian Gulf are in the mid 90s. So you have air blowing off of that water, you have dew points in the mid 80s. But the cornfields, the cornfields really push those dew points up, because the cornfields are not restricted by water temperature, and therefore, it can go up and up and they transmit an enormous amount of moisture into the air. The question is, what about now? Are there cornfields? Right now? Why are the dew points higher in Iowa, in places right around the Corn Belt, according to tomorrow's weather map? Why is that? So? Perhaps if there were cornfields dew points would be even higher. But maybe there's, I don't know, I don't know why the dew points are higher, but you have dew points of 60 degrees, which will be going up even into Minnesota by the time you get the Shabbos. And the dew points start to drop in the St. Louis area. By the time you reach up, it's not big time, just slightly lower dew points in the upper 50s. And the East Coast never really makes it into the 60s and dew points in the 60s for the East Coast. By the way for the East Coast. You have really warm weather coming to you for Friday. That's the weather that's over here in the Midwest for especially. Yes, that's the weather here in the Midwest, in the Midwest shot in this weather, the explanation, this weather? You know, there's a strong question that someone could ask a cold front just went through in the Chicago area. So why in the world is it 10 to 15 degrees warmer than it was yesterday? So the answer one answer is that the Yeah, the cold air aloft temperatures, meteorologists love to measure temperatures that 5000 feet above the surface, because the computer models seem to have an accurate picture of that. That's what the many of the National Weather Service Forecast discussions. I've seen that before. But the problem is, how does that translate to surface temperatures. So when you have a strong sun like you do today, the ultraviolet index in Chicago is a seven powerful sun. So you're gonna get temperatures which are gonna go way up to 70 degrees, even warmer than that, perhaps. And on the East Coast. That's what's headed to the East Coast tomorrow. If you should get a downslope wind in the Baltimore area downloads, the Blue Ridge Mountains, you're gonna get temperatures even warmer than whatever those computer models say that happens sometimes. I've been there when that happened when you have temperatures that are forecast to be low 70s. I think it was a day in December, actually, if the winds come off the mountains and just the right way, for Baltimore, it has to be just the right way. Temperatures actually went up into the low 80s. So you see stuff like that. Anyways, then we have a little bit of a cooldown for the east coast on Shabbos. Not too bad, but the real warmth comes in on Sunday, temperatures go well into the 80s for many locations, for especially Virginia, Washington, DC, Baltimore, it's I think it's gonna go into the ad Sunday, but there are other forecasts for Baltimore, winds may come in off the ocean and bring those temperatures down for areas and coastal cities. You know, I think if that doesn't happen, I think it's gonna happen after Baltimore's already reached 80 degrees, at least for Sunday. And then you have that front that is going to move through associated with a strong storm system up in the Dakotas, which might even the barometric pressure of that storm might even drop below 29 At some point, so it's really strong. You have temperatures in the 80s for South Dakota on Friday, within just a few miles of the area, which is getting a foot of snow, and even the area getting a foot of snow in the Black Hills, maybe even more than a foot of snow verse, Saturday night and Sunday, even for that area. Temperatures still reaching the 60s, Friday afternoon. That place is jam packed with snow. They have a snowpack already heavy snowpack all over the place over there. And it's really quite interesting. The whole situation that's going on in the Dakotas is as fascinating as can be a storm after storm affects that area. You know, if you're living there, hopefully you love the snow.Unknown 9:20But you know, if you don't, if you don't realize it is April and things change just like that, and they are changing just like that. You have places which are just like that going into the 60s, even though there's enormous amounts of snow on the ground. If it wasn't for the snow, those temperatures would be in the 80s they would be in the 80s If it wasn't for the snow.Unknown 9:41You know, I It's the snow in a certain way. It's ruining the media headlines.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.
