DISCUSSION

HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. AN UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE IS CURRENTLY CENTERED OVER THE OH/TN RIVER VALLEYS,
PUTTING US ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE AND DOMINATED WITH
EASTERLY FLOW. WE HAVE WIDESPREAD HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 102-110
TODAY WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES IN THE WESTERN HALF OF OUR AREA. WE
HAVE ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY FOR OUR MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES TODAY
FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM. FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK, HEAT INDEX VALUES
LOOK TO BE BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA, BUT STILL VERY HOT IN THE
100-107 RANGE EACH AFTERNOON. HEAT INDEX VALUES APPROACH HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND WILL BE MONITORED
OVER THE COMING DAYS. THERE WILL BE LITTLE OVERNIGHT RELIEF WITH
LOWS ONLY REACHING THE LOW TO MID 70S EACH NIGHT AND EVEN HIGHER
ALONG THE COAST THEY MAY APPROACH 80. ANYBODY OUTDOORS SHOULD
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER, TAKE BREAKS IN A/C WHEN POSSIBLE, AND
MONITOR FOR SIGNS OF HEAT ILLNESS.
RAIN CHANCES DECREASE OVER THE COMING DAYS WITH DRIER AIR STARTING
TO FUNNEL IN WITH PWATS DROPPING TO 1.8" TODAY AND 1.5" FOR THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY. AS THE RIDGE MOVES OFF THE COAST INTO THE ATLANTIC, WE
WILL HAVE INCREASING POPS INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL BE MORE OF A
NORMAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN WITH DAILY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND RESULTANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES.
