(Now through Saturday) Issued at 1245 PM CDT Fri Jun 14 2024 The heat will slowly crank up the next two days as high pressure builds over the area. Upper ridging will slowly build east across the deep south today leading to rather large subsidence across the area. Given the drier air and increased subsidence. High pressure will be directly overhead on Saturday likely leading to rather hot and dry conditions across the area. Given the drier air aloft and warm surface temperatures, we will continue to mix out today leading to another hot but not incredibly muggy conditions. However by Saturday, moisture will likely begin to slowly push northward leading to hot and muggier conditions. Temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 90s today and upper 90s on Saturday. Heat indices will likely crack 100 with wet bulb globe temps around 85 to 88 suggesting some concerns for heat vulnerable populations. While these values are not what we typically see to warrant heat products, given its still earlyish in the summer, caution should be utilized while working outdoors. With light onshore flow, Rip current risk will continue to be low but will likely quickly increase Sunday into early next week. BB/03
