WEATHER UPDATE
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE MID-SOUTH THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AND WILL PERSIST INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA WILL KEEP DRY WEATHER ALONG WITH SEASONABLY HOT TEMPERATURES BUT LOWER HUMIDITY LEVELS FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST BY THIS WEEKEND SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL RETURN WITH INCREASING HUMIDITY LEVELS. IN ADDITION INCREASINGLY HOT TEMPERATURES WILL PRODUCE HEAT INDEX LEVELS ABOVE 100 DEGREES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BREAK DOWN BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND AND FIRST PART OF THE WEEK, THIS WILL SUPPORT INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD ALONG WITH CONTINUED VERY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS.
