CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS BRIEFING
• The long-duration heat wave will continue through the week.
• Most model solutions show the high-pressure ridge shifting to the east by the weekend, which would allow for increasing monsoonal
moisture by that time.
• This unusually long period of excessive heat will greatly increase the mortality risk in vulnerable populations.
