weather

With all the heat, a number of warnings and advisories have been issued for the week. Here's a quick breakdown of what they mean.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is upping the ante, forecasting that we’ll see a better chance for an “above normal” season in the Atlantic.

July was a pretty hot month, but not the hottest it’s ever been. Saturday is the anniversary of the hottest temperature ever recorded in Tyler.

With the lack of rain in 2011, the result was extreme drought conditions and numerous wildfires across East Texas, including the Bear Creek Fire in September, the largest wildfire in East Texas History.

With high temperatures and high humidity, we start talking about the heat index. But what does that all really mean? What is humidity and what is dew point?

Barry continues to bring the threat for heavy rain, storm surge, flooding and gusty winds to some gulf states.

The first named storm in the Gulf of Mexico is here, and it’s headed towards East Texas.

We've finally reached that point in our East Texas summer where we start hearing about the heat advisories seemingly on a daily basis.

What’s with all the flood warnings? Why are they still here? In short, rivers are still in flood stage.

In advance of these storms, meteorologists are doing what they can to prepare the public. However, it can be a little confusing at times. Like what do those outlooks that the Storm Prediction Center even mean? Slight risk… moderate… enhanced? Let’s break it down.

You know we’re in the “hot season” when the normal high hits 90 degrees, and that happens this Sunday.

The first day of summer is Friday, June 21.
