HOT HOT HOT: The upper ridge is centered nearly directly over the Southeast and that will bring highs today ranging from 97-102 around the region. Another big concern today is heat index values. We could see heat indices near or even exceed 110° today with absolutely no rain chance expected to help cool us off. The ridge will be persisting for most of this week.
WEEKEND: Extreme heat and humidity will likely still hang around over the weekend but the ridge starts retreating Saturday into Sunday. Most of the area will remain dry for Saturday but rain chances start to creep up come Sunday and that will lead to a fairly active pattern next week.
