Setup for Heat in the Southeast

A zone of high pressure has set up shop in the upper atmosphere over the region. This strong area of high pressure will help to keep conditions hot and humid the next several days.

The result will be the three "H's" - hazy, hot and humid - with the worst of the heat stretching across a large area from the lower-Mississippi Valley to the Southeast coast.


Combine the current temperature and humidity levels, and this is what it really feels like outdoors. Remember, standing in direct midday sunlight can make it feel 15 degrees hotter than these readings.

High temperatures will be 5 to 15 degrees above average for this time of year at times this week. This translates into highs well into the 90s, with a some areas topping the century mark.
