.DISCUSSION...

...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 8 PM EDT TODAY
FOR THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...

Heat risk increases to hazardous levels this week into
the holiday weekend. Advisories will likely be extended
and expanded to encompass much of the region for the
end of the week.

An upper level ridge of high pressure will build across the
eastern U.S. this week. This feature will facilitate warming
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 102 to 108 in the foothills and piedmont.
