...ANOTHER STRETCH OF HOT WEATHER IS ON THE WAY EARLY NEXT WEEK...

HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS WEEKEND WILL GRADUALLY
MOVE EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. A BUBBLE OF VERY HOT AIR 
IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM. AS THIS RIDGE OF HIGH 
PRESSURE MOVES EASTWARD MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK, THE 
HOT AIR WILL OVERSPREAD OUR REGION. 

HIGH TEMPERATURES MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE
IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S, WITH TUESDAY APPEARING TO BE THE HOTTEST 
DAY OF THE THREE. AS THE WINDS TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST SUNDAY NIGHT, 
DEW POINT TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE. DURING MONDAY, 
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, DEW POINT TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE 
IN THE 65 TO 75 DEGREE RANGE. THERE MAY BE SOME TEMPORARY LOWERING 
OF THE DEW POINTS FOR A TIME MONDAY AFTERNOON DUE TO A WESTERLY WIND 
AND SOME DRIER AIR POSSIBLY MIXING DOWN, HOWEVER HOT AND 
INCREASINGLY HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY 
OF NEXT WEEK.

SINCE THE HUMIDITY HAS LOWERED CONSIDERABLY TODAY, GIVING THE REGION 
SOME RELIEF, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE HUMIDITY IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A 
RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK. REVIEW THE STEPS THAT ARE NEEDED TO KEEP COOL
DURING THE HOT AND HUMID WEATHER, AND ALWAYS CHECK ON THE ELDERLY 
AND THE YOUNG AS THEY ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT RELATED HEALTH 
PROBLEMS.

THE COMBINATION OF TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S DURING THE AFTERNOON AND 
INCREASING HUMIDITY, WILL GENERATE HEAT INDICES OF NEAR 100 DEGREES
ON MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY, AND 100 TO 105 ON TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY, ALLOWING SOME COOLER AIR TO 
OVERSPREAD THE REGION. YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE 
TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS HOT AIR MASS.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, THE OFFICIAL VOICE OF 
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR 
ADDITIONAL UPDATES.
