It's only mid-to-late May, but it's going to feel more like mid-July by the second half of the weekend! A big ridge of high pressure will set-up it's office in the mid-section of the country and hang-out through the majority of the coming week. Beneath this ridge, the air will sink and heat by compression into the upper-80s or hotter! In fact, our global model is predicting a high of 90 degrees both Sunday and Monday.
Be sure to wear sunscreen and drink lots of water (not alcohol) if you're going to be spending extended periods of time outdoors this coming week. 88 to 90 degrees might not seem too terribly hot, but it's been awhile since we've seen those types of highs around here and most people probably aren't used to it. In fact, the last time we saw highs in the upper-80s was June 27th, 2009 when we hit 89 degrees.
