Strong heat will be building over states like Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas for the upcoming Holiday Weekend.  Some areas could be near 100° for highs with it feeling even warmer when you include the humidity forecast.

Strong Heat Set-Up

A strong dip in the upper-level winds will develop in the western U.S. over the next few days.  This will lead to a strong ridge over the southern U.S. and allow for some very hot temperatures over the weekend.  If you are planning any outdoor activities, definitely be prepared to stay cool.
