WHAT HAS CHANGED

KEY MESSAGE 1)
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING REMAIN ANCHORED ACROSS
THE REGION THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO FRIDAY. HOT
AND HUMID CONDITIONS PERSIST. FORECAST HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
90S, ALONG WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MIDDLE TO LOWER 70S, RESULT IN PEAK
HEAT INDEX VALUES AROUND THE 105 MARK WITH HIGHER READINGS POSSIBLE.
AN EXTREME HEAT WARNING IS IN PLACE THROUGH FRIDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR
THE HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 70S OFFER LITTLE
RELIEF FROM THE HEAT.
ACCORDING THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE, FRIDAY MAY BE JUST AS HOT AS
THURSDAY IF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY DOES NOT OCCUR. VERY EARLY CAM
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS MINIMAL STORM ACTIVITY THROUGH MOST OF AFTERNOON,
ALTHOUGH GLOBAL GUIDANCE IS STILL SHOWING SOME GREATER CHANCES FOR
DIURNAL STORMS. GIVEN THE EXTENT OF THE HEAT WAVE, THE EXTREME HEAT
WARNING HEADLINES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED TO INCLUDE FRIDAY AS WELL
DESPITE SOME UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING CONVECTION.
DESPITE MOST EXTREME HEAT SUBSIDING FRIDAY, THIS WEEKEND WILL STILL
FEATURE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS.

FOR CONVECTION AND LESS OPPRESSIVE HEAT THIS WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT
WEEK. OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES COULD SEE SOME IMPACTS FROM ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. A MICROBURST THREAT EXISTS WITH ANY STORMS THAT FORM
THIS WEEKEND IN THE HIGH INSTABILITY, LOW SHEAR, AND HIGH DCAPE
ENVIRONMENT. LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS CAN BE EXPECTED IN ANY OF THE
SLOW MOVING STORMS.

A BIG DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE
DRY WEATHER AND HOT TEMPERATURES. FEW CUMULUS CLOUDS THAT DEVELOPED
