>> IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE WARM OUTSIDE IF YOU ARE TAKING THE WALK THIS AFTERNOON. >> I LOVE WEIJA. >> SHE USED TO REPORT WITH US BEFORE SHE NEEDED TO MOVE TO THE WHITE HOUSE. >> A STAR, SO SWEET AND HUMBLE AND SO GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES. LET'S WALK. YOU ARE RIGHT. IT'S GOING TO BE NICE. YOU HAVE TO PACE YOURSELF. IT'S STILL HOT, STILL SUMMER IN THE CITY. IT'S 82, WARM AND BRIGHT, A REAL DELIGHT. YELLOW ALERT TOMORROW. WHY? HEAT AND STORMS. TODAY IS ABOVE NORMAL WITH 86. NORMAL IS 82. 101 ON THIS DAY IN 1948. I BELIEVE TODAY IS LBJ'S BIRTHDAY. SUN SET IS AT 7:35. THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON WHICH IS GREAT.

THEN YOU SEE THAT AS A FEATURE IN THE MORNING WITH THE PASSING SHOWERS, MAYBE AN EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORM. THEN WE WAIT BECAUSE REMEMBER ALL THAT HEAT? THE ATMOSPHERE IS GETTING READY. IT'S BUILDING. IT'S LOADED UP. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. EVERY TIME WE RUN THE MODELS, THIS LINE SHOWS UP. IF THAT VERIFIES THAT'S MORE INDICATIVE OF HEAVY RAIN, MAYBE HAIL, MAYBE LOCALIZED FLOODING AND GUSTY WINDS. THAT'S WHY WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY. WE BREAK THAT THOUGH AND GET A BREAK. WE ARE IN THE 70s THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND STARTING THE THREE DAY WITH A CHANCE FOR
