A large upper-level ridge will build Monday afternoon and impact us for the long term. Heat indexes are expected to be as high as 107 degrees with dew points in the upper-60s and low-70s. Given that this may be a long-duration extreme heat event—that is also occurring during a holiday week—heat safety will be crucial. Drinking plenty of fluids, taking breaks in the AC, and frequently checking in on heat sensitive loved ones will be vital this week. In addition, be sure to apply plenty of sunscreen when spending extended time outdoors, as well as giving any plants plenty of water due to the sunny and rainless conditions.
