HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE UPPER OHIO
VALLEY BY WEEK'S END. THIS KEEPS A NICE, COOL NORTHEASTERLY
FETCH HERE, PROVIDING LOWER DEW POINTS AND TEMPERATURES THROUGH
FRIDAY; COMFORTABLY PLEASANT, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
WITH THE HIGH'S EASTWARD SHIFT, WE GET INTO RETURN FLOW
SOUTHERLIES THAT BRING OUR NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS HEADING
INTO THE WEEKEND. LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS LOOK TO BE THE MAIN
EXPECTATION AT THIS WRITING, AS PW'S PUSH 2".
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING TAKES OVER EARLY NEXT WEEK, RETURNING STEAMY
HEAT THAT PUSHES HEADLINE NUMBERS WITH TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT INDICES
AND AIR TEMPERATURES APPROACHING THE CENTURY MARK MONDAY AND
TUESDAY.
