A combination of heat and moisture will create heat index values of 100-105 degrees over the next several afternoons. The mechanism responsible for this heat wave is a large upper level ridge over the eastern United States. This ridge will not move much over the weekend and we will see weather very similar to the last few days.
Outside of hot temperatures, we will see light winds and partly cloudy skies through the weekend. We will see a few shortwave disturbances move through the ridge on Saturday and Sunday which will help to increase our precipitation chances. There is a chance for some isolated thunderstorms each day and night due and with an abundance of heat and moisture in the atmosphere some of these storms will put down some heavy rain. Not everyone will see rain, but some of us could see some brief heavy rainfall and frequent lightning.
Forecast:
Tonight: Low - 74 Winds - SW at 3-6 mph. Precipitation: 10% chance of an isolated thunderstorm.
Skies: Partly to Mostly Cloudy
Saturday: High - 94 Low - 73 Winds - W at 3-6 mph becoming calm overnight. Precipitation: 20% chance of an isolated thunderstorm. Skies: Partly Cloudy
Sunday: High - 93 Low - 73 Winds - light and variable Precipitation: Isolated Thunderstorms. Skies: Partly Cloudy
