RIDGING IS SET TO BUILD FURTHER ACROSS AND THEN EAST OF THE FOUR
STATE REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
THIS PATTERN SHIFT WILL CONTINUE TO SHOVE FRONTAL BOUNDARIES AWAY
TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONTS. MID-LEVEL FLOW WILL BRIEFLY REMAIN
QUASI-ZONAL UNTIL RIDGING STRENGTHENS IN EARNEST BY SUNDAY TO
BEGIN A WARMING TREND OVER THE SAME TIME PERIOD AS THIS NE
MAXIMIZES WARM AIR ADVECTION WITH TEMPERATURE MAXIMUMS IN THE LOW-
TO-MID 90S ON SATURDAY, THEN MID-TO-UPPER 90S ON MONDAY. THE
CENTER OF THE RIDGING WILL GRADUALLY FORM AND SHIFT OVER THE OHIO
RIVER VALLEY EARLY NEXT WEEK, ALLOWING ONSHORE FLOW TO RETURN AND
REBUILD GULF MOISTURE. BY THURSDAY, DIURNALLY-DRIVEN CONVECTIVE
MODES BECOME MORE LIKELY BY LATER NEXT WEEK AS SOME TROUGHING
SLIPS WEST ALONG THE GULF COAST AND AROUND THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY
OF THE RIDGE, ACCORDING TO LONG-RANGE GUIDANCE.
LONG-RANGE GUIDANCE ALSO STILL GIVES A 60 TO 70 PERCENT CHANCE OF
TEMPERATURES GREATER THAN 95 DEGREES BY NEXT TUESDAY (ESPECIALLY WEST
OF I-49). WITH DEW POINTS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE LOW-TO- MID
70S BY THIS TIME, HAZARDOUS HEAT WILL BE IMPACTFUL FOR ALL GROUPS
OF PEOPLE AND NOT JUST HEAT-SENSITIVE GROUPS, LIKELY PROMPTING
HEAT ADVISORIES BY THAT TIME. ADEQUATE PRECAUTIONS AND AWARENESS
ARE ENCOURAGED NOW AGAINST THE ELEVATED POTENTIAL FOR HEAT
ILLNESSES. THIS INCLUDES (AND IS NOT LIMITED TO) ALTERING OUTDOOR
PLANS, TAKING FREQUENT BREAKS IF YOU MUST BE OUTSIDE, CHECKING THE
BACKSEAT OF YOUR VEHICLE, AND KNOWING THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF
HEAT EXHAUSTION AND HEAT STROKE. /16/
