Warmth to Stick Around

The 92° we hit Wednesday is just the beginning of what looks to be a prolonged period of warmth.  Average high temperatures this time in July should sit in the low 80s.  Highs this week and into next week are expected to sit in the upper 80s and possibly hit the 90s once again.  The ridge of high pressure in the south will stay put, keeping the jetstream to the north.  The 6-10 Day Outlook from the Climate Prediction Center has much of U.S. sitting above average towards the middle of next week.  Looking even further towards the end of July and temperatures appear to still remain above average.
