There are several important topics discussed in this episode including a short segment on the cicadas, an alternative effective way to know when a tornado will hit your area, a new color coded system that will be used this Summer by the National Weather Service and mentions the upper limit of heat that the human body could endure.  
In this episode we discuss an intense but short lived 3 day heatwave over South Texas, Mexico and to a lesser extent other parts of the Gulf Coast. This heatwave is from Tuesday - Thursday May 6th - May 8th 2024. 
In this episode we read a little from The "Washington Post" which discussed record warmth from Mexico to Southern New England. 
This episode also discusses an updated system that the National Weather Service will be using to publicize heat dangers. 
This episode discusses some of the heat indices and very dangerous Wet Bulb Globe temperatures that are occuring in Southeastern Texas. 
This episode discusses the way to measure wet bulb temperature which is slightly different from wet bulb globe temperature. It should be pointed out that the way to measure the dew point is a little different than wet bulb temperature (it is a mistake to say that they are the same, this is a correction from what was mentioned in this episode).

This episode discusses Wet-bulb-globe temperature which is often referred to as “Wet-bulb” temperature. In cold weather the term Wet-bulb temperature accurately refers to Wet-bulb temperature. In hot weather it usually refers to Wet-bulb-globe temperature.

Wet bulb temperature, black globe temperature and dry bulb temperature are all necessary in order to figure out the Wet-bulb-globe temperature. There are other variables needed as well such as sun angle, solar radiation (cloud cover) and wind speed. 

This episode discusses an intense early season heatwave that is expected to expand and maximize from Mexico to Texas over the next couple days. This will expand further along much of the Gulf Coast reaching a peak on May 9th for most locations. There will be a small window of time when the heat will become life threatening for athletes in some locations. WBGT are considered unbearable at 35°C/95°F. Recent studies show that it's close to unbearable at 86° 87°F / 30°C. This episode discusses the isolated spots of 90°F/32°C WBGT in Texas. We discuss 2 cities regarding this. We discuss how this will be occurring in these 2 cities around 1pm Wednesday and 1pm Thursday May 9th 2024. The NWS has a peak WBGT occuring in parts of South Texas on Wednesday at 93°F/34°C. This heat is of a magnitude that might even be greater than last Summer. 

The rest of the episode discusses the heatwave including the humidity. At this point, the peak indices will be slightly lower with this event than last Summer's due to the slightly lower dew points. This heat is also not nearly as widespread as it was last Summer. However, last summer's heat didn't get started until mid-June. We discuss areas of extreme temperatures of 45°C+/113°F+ in places that have minimal humidity.

We discuss the placement of the dry-line in relation to Brownsville Texas. 

We discuss the Wet-bulb temperatures Forecasted by the European model (in this context it does not mean WBGT only WBT). 


We discuss the ending of this heat within the United States. 

We make brief mention of the current severe weather outbreak including nighttime tornadoes going on in the Plains.
