The ridge of heat across a good portion of the eastern United States will stay in place over the next few days before breaking down a bit as we move into the upcoming weekend.

Notice how we bring a northwest flow for a few days as the ridge shifts (and builds!) in the western US. We’ll likely see a return to the heat and humidity next week, perhaps a few ticks hotter than what we’re currently experiencing! (It IS summer after all)

In terms of our much needed rainfall, we’ll have a few chances here and there. We’ll have pop-ups the next few days and a more organized storm chance Friday with the front. We’ll take what we can get this time of year!
