High pressure off the East Coast will remain in place through most of this week.
High temperatures will be in the middle 90s for much of the Midlands with heat index values near 100. The only relief might be an isolated afternoon thunderstorm, but most of the Midlands will not see any rain this weekend.
The weather pattern is unlikely to change through the weekend. Thus, it will be hot and humid next week with heat index values at or above 100. No organized areas of rain are expected in the Midlands. There could be a few thunderstorms pop up in the coastal plain due to the sea-breeze boundary in the afternoons.
It will be hot and humid Saturday for the Georgia versus South Carolina football game. High temperatures will be in the middle 90s and a heat index values near 100.
The extended outlook for the next two weeks is for the hot, humid weather to continue. There will be little chance for rain. Watering will be needed for area lawns as we continue to move into a dry spell.
