⚠️Hurricane Watch⚠️
Hurricane Dorian is in the past, but it will never be forgotten. For the Bahamas, it was a storm like none other. The Death toll has risen past 50, and about 13,000 homes have been destroyed. Now there is a new concern. Many areas of concern have popped up in the past week where there could be potential for a new tropical storm or hurricane to threaten the US. What do you know, there is actually a tropical storm located over the Bahamas right this minute causing more damage to the already devastated land. Tropical Storm Humberto. In fact, some believe it could grow to a Cat 2 in the Atlantic. But right now it's a weak storm and it is not expected to grow until it is far off the coast. This storm will move out of the Bahamas pretty quickly and go back out into the Atlantic causing minimal damage which is great. But there are many more areas of concern.
Areas in yellow have low chances of forming Tropical depressions (30%). Areas in orange have higher chances (50%). The X's are the current location of the disturbance or invest. An Invest in meteorology (investigative area, also written as INVEST) is a designated area of disturbed tropical weather that is being monitored closely for a potential tropical depression or tropical storm to form. We could see some activity within the next week with these cluster of storms.
Future Weather
A lot of North Texas is under a burn ban. Why? Because many parts of Texas are under several drought watches. Many in west Texas are actually under severe drought! Because of this, the burn ban is constantly spreading to other counties. So you may ask, "When will we see a break from the heat?"
Soon, I promise. We could even get below a high of 90's this week! But the real cool down won't begin until October most likely. :(

My Trip to WFAA
Yesterday, I made a special trip and went down to Victory Park in Dallas to tour the WFAA Studio! I got to meet Jesse Hawila and talk weather with him and watch real time broadcasts happen in the studio. I also got to meet Chris, Cynthia, and Mike. Everyone was so kind and friendly in the studio and I am so honored to have had that opportunity to visit this amazing WFAA Team! Thank you Jesse Hawila for being so kind for inviting me and spending your hours discussing weather with me and thank you Chris, Cynthia, and Mike! Thank you all for making yesterday such an amazing day for me!

What an awesome trip! Glad they recognized what you are doing here,keep up the great work 👍🏻 it's only getting better.
I know I will be looking forward to the cool down and maybe a little rain this week?!?! Awesome experience at the WFAA studio! I am sure you learned a great deal watching a live weather broadcast. Great updates to the website!!
Great blog once again, loved the video. What a fantastic opportunity for you to visit WFAA! Great pics too. Jesse does seem like a great guy. He was so nice to take so much time with you. The pictures are super! You look like you belong right there on set. Good job!!
This was a day I will not soon forget and I am so blessed to have a front row seat watching your love of weather grow. The team at WFAA was so nice and encouraging and Jesse is now one of my favorite people for how he mentored you for that 1 1/2 hours. Excellent and informative blog once again—one of your best so far!
