After some sunshine, a little cloud cover and a few showers and thunderstorms to end the week, drier weather will move into the region looking ahead into the upcoming weekend.
We’re tracking a stalled out for a boundary south of the region over the Ohio Valley, that is where the chances for showers and thunderstorms will be focused as we start the weekend. Mixture of sunshine and clouds can be expected throughout the day on Saturday, high temperatures are remain reasonable, into the mid 80s by Saturday afternoon.
Mainly clear skies can be expected overnight tonight, and the humidity will also stay at bay, so it will feel comfortable heading into the overnight. Overnight Lowe’s dropping into the load of mid 60s for most everybody.
High-pressure will build into the region, looking ahead into the end of the weekend on Sunday, that means plenty of sunshine will be on top. Temperatures remaining on the warm side of things looking ahead into the end of the weekend as well, expect high temperatures to remain in the middle 80s by Sunday afternoon.
Looking ahead into the majority of next week, another heat wave looks to be setting up for the Midwest, into the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes. An upper level ridge of high-pressure will set up shop over the Midwestern United States, and that will act as our heat pump, sending our high temperature soaring for the majority of next week into the low to mid 90s. The one difference for this heat wave compared to what we had a week to two weeks ago, is that this one will not be funneling in as much humidity as the one that we just had before this.
With that in mind, expect heat index values will soar into the mid to upper 90s looking ahead into the majority of next week as well. High temperatures on Monday will warm into the low 90s, before soaring into the low to mid 90s Tuesday and Wednesday, then back into the low 90s by the time we get to Thursday.
Sunshine looks to continue into the end of the week on Friday, and temperatures as of right now will cool down just a bit. High temperatures warming into the upper 80s to near 90° by the time we get to next Friday afternoon.
