[Weather] [2019.07.19 AM] Excessive Heat/Humidity Today and the Weekend

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

While today will start in relative comfort, heat and humidity will be on
the increase today and peak on Saturday and Sunday.  A cold front then
brings relief from the high temperatures Monday and the high humidity
Tuesday.

Heat index values will approach or even exceed 110 degrees in some
locations Saturday and Sunday afternoons.  This is dangerous heat and
humidity and relatively rare for this part of the country. We have attached
an image of the Heat Headlines issued along with the maximum heat index
values anticipated Today, Saturday and Sunday.  It is not only heat during
the day, but the lack of cooling at night which will be a problem.
Fortunately, much cooler air arrives Monday.
