7/18 – The Chief’s “Dangerous Heat Expected” Tuesday Morning Forecast

Another hot and humid day is expected across the Southern 6 counties. A HEAT ADVISORY goes in effect from 12pm until 7pm as heat indices will max out between 105 to 110 degrees. High pressure is the dominant feature this morning, however there is a weakness in the overall pattern to the Northwest, which will not directly impact our forecast. The main story is how hot the temperatures are this week with temperatures in the mid-90s through Thursday. We can expect Heat Indices from 105 to 110 each day with heat advisories expected. With high pressure dominant, rain chances are almost nonexistent until Thursday. Friday temperatures will be in the low-90s with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Slight relief is in the forecast for Saturday through the weekend as a front moves in to the northern portions of the gulf south states causing rain chances to elevate. Temperatures will also return closer to average (Average High 91). With the front moving in this weekend, cloud coverage will return to mostly cloudy keeping temperatures cooler than the workweek.
