The Heat Is On....

A very quiet but hot weather pattern is now taking hold across the Ohio Valley...
High pressure, both at the surface and aloft, will dominate our weather for the next 5 to 7 days...
Humidity values will stay fairly comfortable through Friday afternoon but at the same token, it's easier for dry air to heat up more so than moist air. Bottom line, temperatures will likely be flirting with the middle 90s the rest of the work week. By the weekend, higher dew points will return to the region allowing the muggies to also return. This low level moisture will also create decent values of surface based CAPES so ... as the story goes, the chances for a few pop up type storms will return to the region especially on Sunday.

Stay cool gang...
Later:
Jay
