hi everyone I'm meteorologist Natalie nun thanks for joining us for today's Ozark's first fast and local well corn sweat that term has been making its rounds in the news this week have you ever heard of it the hottest and most muggy conditions in the country have been parked over the Corn Belt this is an area north of Missouri into parts of Nebraska Iowa and Illinois now while we're not known for our corn here in the Ozarks that's not what we're famous for we do have plenty of plants and crops and with this summer being fairly wet all of our summer plants are green and mature still Plants release water into the atmosphere and this process is known as transpiration and I tested out the theory of a pepper in our garden so this here is my pepper sweat the USDA says one area of mature corn can release 3,000 gallons of water per day into the atmosphere and nearly 90 million acres of corn are planted each year in the United States this equals billions gallons of corn sweat water being released into the atmosphere so while we aren't known for corn sweat we have all different kinds of plants and crops producing sweat here in the Ozarks pepper sweat flowers you name it grass lots of humidity to work with so corn sweat yes it is a thing just not something that we necessarily have to deal with thankfully we are going to have conditions though that'll make plants and people sweat through the next couple of days this is temperatures Across the Nation I wanted to give you an idea where the hottest temperatures are are we're at 94 and this is about 3:00 on Tuesday 99 in Chicago now we're going to take a look at those due points that's how much moisture is in the air when a dup points in the 70s and we're talking really humid air that's swimming through air and look at Chicago 707 degrees so that area where there's still lots of corn on the outskirts of town they are in for it so it feels more like it's 115 in Chicago right now crazy high humidity there feels like it's 99 in Springfield so we're getting fair share fair share of heat and humidity here in the Ozarks now the muggy meter showing things will start to die down as we head into the weekend but it is going to stay fairly humid for the next couple of days but I call this hope we are ending August on a hot note by Sunday the first day of September we are going to be below average and it's going to feel very fall-like as we enter next week which is a Labor Day weekend as well as the start of meteorological fall look at that below low average I like what I see there well you can catch more of our stories on the news tonight we'll be on coloron at 56 and 10 we'll be on Fox 49 at 6:30 and9 and we'll be on anytime on our website ozarksfirst.com
