Extreme heat to stick around the DC region

Hour with your weather. A live look now for our Fox 5 Sky Cam tonight on this Tuesday night. A live look at Reagan National Airport. Mike Thomas is here to tell us about the hot temperatures that are headed our way. Hey, Mike. Yeah, here we go again, Kenneth, with some triple digit heat possible in D.C. starting tomorrow. Today, 91 degrees. Officially, yes, first day of the heat wave. You only have to hit 90 here in D.C. to kind of start that. Three straight days of 90 or better will give you a heat wave officially as the National Weather Service considers it in our region. Delos hit 90. Baltimore kind of led the pack of the three airports at 92 degrees. But you see, that's right around average. 90 degrees your average temperature here for this time of year. Now outside tonight, a little bit of haze still hanging out and some of that wildfire smoke too. Yeah, that was that milky white sky you saw today was wildfire smoke courtesy of Canada. We'll talk more about what that could bring to the D.C. region in the days ahead. I'll show you some of the trackers with that smoke coming up in just a bit. 83 degrees is current temperature Reagan National Airport with a little bit of humidity and it does come up naturally at night. And when that happens, 83 feels like 86. 79 feels like 82 at Delos, BWI 83, but feeling like 85 degrees. You can't see any of that smoke on satellite radar. Sun's gone down and satellites really don't pick up that smoke very well at all just because it's pretty spacious or spaced out in terms of its particles in the atmosphere. It tends to be very, very thin and hard for them to see. But nothing to worry about in terms of cloud cover out there other than some of that haze. We look down to the south. That's where all the storminess is down across the southeast parts of South Carolina, parts of Georgia and Florida. That, though, continues to be suppressed down to the south. And our chances of storms pretty minor through Friday and then by Saturday, our storm chances really jump. We'll talk more about that weekend forecast coming up in just a little bit here. Temperatures expected to hit upper 90s to right around 100 degrees here in D.C. tomorrow afternoon. Humidity will not be as bad as the heatwave during the early month, but still at rather dangerous levels. 108 peak heat index both tomorrow and Thursday, and for that reason, at least tomorrow. Right now, heat advisories up. They'll likely extend it into Thursday as well. We'll talk all things forecast coming up in just a few more minutes here. All right.
