A high pressure ridge is still over much of the Midwest, as it has been since early this week. This has resulted in quiet weather and low chances of rain, and is expected to continue during the next several days, the weather service said.
On Friday, temperatures are expected to rise into the mid and upper 80s with increased warm air advection, and combined with increasing dewpoints, will bring the heat index back up to the lower 90s both Friday and Saturday.
