Discussion              

The remainder of the work week will feature excessive heat and humidity in the Tennessee Valley as strong high pressure ridging remains stationary over the southern states. Temperatures each of the next few afternoons will likely flirt with the century mark and there won’t be a lot of relief at night. In addition to the high heat and humidity, there will be a daily chance of afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms - any one of which can produce some heavy rainfall in the area. It turns less hot later in the weekend and early next week as the high pressure aloft tends to retrograde to the west.
