THE HEAT IS ON AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE EASTERN
US. OUR PERIOD OF ACTIVE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL COME TO AN END AS
A RATHER STOUT UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS. THINGS WILL CERTAINLY BE DRY AS SUBSIDENCE FROM THE RIDGE
OVERSPREADS THE AREA THE NEXT 3 DAYS RESULTING IN INCREASING
TEMPERATURES AND HEAT INDICES. SUNDAY AND MONDAY LOOK TO BE THE
HOTTEST DAYS OF THE UPCOMING PERIOD AS HEAT RISK WILL CLIMB TO
WIDESPREAD HIGH HEAT RISK LEVELS. COUPLE THIS WITH HEAT INDICES
IN THE 103 TO 107 RANGE AND WET BULB GLOBE TEMPERATURES
APPROACHING 90 IT WILL CERTAINLY FEEL DOWNRIGHT AWFUL ACROSS THE
AREA. BE SURE TO TAKE PROPER ACTIONS AGAINST THE HEAT AND DRINK
PLENTY OF WATER. WHILE HEAT INDICES MAY NOT REACH OUR HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA, IT WILL CERTAINLY BE HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE ISSUES
AND ONLY A COUPLE DEGREES INCREASED ON THE DEWPOINT OR AIR
TEMPERATURE WOULD BE NEEDED TO REACH CRITERIA.
BY MID WEEK, A SUBTLE EASTERLY WAVE WILL MOVE UNDER THE RIDGE AND
ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. AS A RESULT, MOISTURE WILL INCREASE
ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY. THIS WAVE WILL BRING THE RETURN OF
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA AND WITH THE UPPER
RIDGE STILL LOITERING TO OUR NORTH, THERE WILL LIKELY BE ENOUGH
DRY AIR ALOFT TO PRESENT A MICROBURST RISK WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS
THAT DO DEVELOP. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A COUPLE STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON GIVEN THE INCREASED COVERAGE
AND DRIER AIR ALOFT. THIS HAS EVEN BEEN NOTED IN SOME OF THE AI
GUIDANCE THAT SUPPORTS AN INCREASED RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS. AS
THE WAVE MOVES WEST BY THE END OF THE WEEK, THINGS SHOULD DRY BACK
OUT BUT THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD REMAIN LEADING TO CONTINUED
HEAT ISSUES AS HEAT INDICES REMAIN IN THE MID TRIPLE DIGITS. WITH
THAT MY TIME HERE AT MOB ENDS AS A NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS! IT HAS
CERTAINLY BEEN A RIDE THE LAST 7 AND A HALF YEARS. STAY COOL
MOBILE AND WATCH OUT FOR THOSE MINI-SPINNIES. BB-8
