Hot and Humid Weather Pattern

Good Saturday! We are starting the weekend on a hot note! The humidity will be increasing as well, with "feel-like" temps in the mid-upper 90s! Strong storms will also be possible as a front moves in, mainly this evening and tonight.

Sunday will be slightly cooler, with mid-upper 80s. Skies will be partly sunny with pop-up storms tomorrow afternoon. Don't cancel any outdoor plans!

The pattern next week will be very hot and muggy around here! Isolated storms are possible Monday, then again later Thursday. Other than that, sunshine and hot temps! Temps will go from upper 80s Monday, near 90 or better Tuesday-Thursday, then mid-upper 80s by next weekend.

There is some MAJOR heat going on in the mid south, and all of the south! In Memphis, TN, for example, the NWS is forecasting a high of 100 today, with heat indices around 108-110! They can expect more of that throughout next week!! Now that is a heat wave! The Ohio Valley remains on the edge of the heat ridge, but this is still keeping our temps well above average. There are signs of the pattern shifting a bit towards the middle-end of June, with an active and cooler pattern possible by the end of the month, and especially towards July. Right now, July and August look below average, with above average precip. Areas in the southern plains and south look to stay in a dry and hot pattern through the summer months!

Thanks for checking the blog, have a great weekend!
