HOTTER WEATHER WILL BE THE RULE THIS WEEK... A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL CAUSE HIGH TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB TO 90 OR ABOVE EVERY DAY THIS WEEK. COMBINED WITH MODERATE HUMIDITY LEVELS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY HEAT INDICES COULD REACH OR SLIGHTLY EXCEED 100 BOTH DAYS...DROPPING BACK INTO THE 90S FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER HUMIDITY. A LONG STRETCH OF HEAT LIKE THIS CAN CAUSE EXTRA STRESS ON THOSE PRONE TO HEAT ILLNESS SUCH AS YOUNG CHILDREN...THE ELDERLY...AND THOSE WHO WORK OUTDOORS OR IN HOT BUILDINGS.
