.DISCUSSION...
Heat risk increases to hazardous levels this week into
the holiday weekend.

An upper level ridge of high pressure will build across the

temperatures with highs in the 80s to lower 90s in the mountains
and upper 90s to around 100 for the foothills and piedmont. 
The hot temperatures will combine with elevated dewpoints near
70 to produce peak heat indices of 95 to 100 in the mountains 
and 100 to 110 in the foothills and piedmont.
