Key Message:
- Temperatures continue to climb as an upper-level ridge builds.
Key Message 1…
While high pressure will continue to dominate the region, upper-level shortwaves will provide moisture transport into the area and prompt changes for pop-up to isolated showers and thunderstorms this week. However, chances are so low–as of Sunday evening–that they will likely not be included in many forecasts. Upper-level ridging will build and take dominance this week and it will also fuel an increase in humidity and temperature. Daytime highs will climb into the upper-90s by mid-week with heat indices near 100 degrees. Keep watch for any heat headlines issued by the National Weather Service this week.
