HAZARDOUS WEATHER: A strong upper level ridge of high pressure remains in control of the weather across the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley region. High temperatures this afternoon are expected to climb between 98 and 105 degrees. These temperatures, when combined with a very humid airmass, will result in dangerous heat indices of 110 to 117 degrees. An excessive heat warning remains in effect for the area through Thursday evening. Hot temperatures will likely continue through most of this week, as an upper level ridge maintains some of its grip on the region. However, some relief from the heat may come by Thursday and Friday as the center of the ridge shifts westward allowing a front to move into the region triggering scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Some of the storms may become severe on Friday with the primary threat being damaging winds.
