High pressure brings hot and dry weather through mid-week

 Blocking high pressure will result in very little rainfall potential across much of the Central Plains and Upper Midwest through at least the next 5-6 days. All of the gulf moisture will be trapped South of that high, producing typical summer-like showers and thunderstorms primarily South of the Ohio River.

The lack of gulf moisture will help with our heat and humidity, but it will not eliminate it entirely. Abnormally warm weather stretching all the way into Montana and North Dakota will gradually spread our way through next week, producing several 90-degree days. Monday through Thursday is currently forecast to see 4 such days in a row, with peak heat index values pushing the triple digits Tuesday and Wednesday. While not quite as hot as the last round of heat, be sure to stay hydrated and take breaks in the cool shade if you must spend extended time outdoors!
