Heat Wave Building Into the Ohio Valley and Eastern
United States
A very anomalous weather pattern is in place over the U.S. for mid-July.
Trapped between an upper level ridge centered over the Ohio Valley and the
closed upper level low over the Texas/Oklahoma border, atypical hot, muggy air
is stifling a broad swath of the eastern U.S. The closed low is expected to
drift west toward New Mexico bringing heavy, localized rain to some areas and
temperatures running 10-20 degrees below mid-July averages. Across the east,
temperatures will warm well into the 90's and stay there through the week. This
image was taken by the GOES East satellite at 12:45 p.m. EDT on July 15,
2013.
