Dangerously hot weather forecast for the Southeast over the weekend

While the Northeast and Midwest will get some respite from the heat and humidity over the weekend of June 13th, that won’t be the case in the scorching Southeast, where “dangerous” heat is forecast through Sunday, June 14th.

How hot is it? Temperatures will be in the 90s to near 100 degrees, accompanied by severe humidity. The National Weather Service in Tallahassee, Florida, said that due to the heat, “people who are unable to adequately cool or hydrate should take steps such as staying indoors with air conditioning or shade, staying hydrated, and taking frequent breaks.”

Elsewhere, high temperatures will remain in the 80s to low 90s, although cold, dry air behind a cold front will spread across the eastern United States on Saturday, NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center said in an online forecast.

The Southeast will experience its first really hot days this year. “Early season heat is often more dangerous and the risk of heat-related illness can be greater,” WPC said.

Arctic air in the Midwest?

Cooler weather will be a hot topic in the upper Midwest and around the Great Lakes. “The flow from the northwest comes directly out of the Arctic. It’s cold and dry,” Weather Trader meteorologist Ryan Maue said in an email to USA TODAY. “This is a very severe trough for mid-June,” he added.

Nighttime temperatures are expected to drop into the 40s across much of the upper Midwest Saturday night, the National Weather Service said.
