Forget the 'Polar Vortex.' Here comes the 'Death Ridge' and record heat for the Southeast

A blistering, dangerous heat wave, which one expert calls a "death ridge," is poised to scorch the southeastern U.S. over the Memorial Day weekend.

While the central U.S. deals with floods and storms, some all-time record high temperatures for May could be shattered as highs rocket into the upper 90s to low 100s all the way from Alabama to Virginia.

"In what has been a warmer-than-normal May to date across the Southeast, temperatures will take a notable turn upwards through the end of the week and into Memorial Day weekend," AccuWeather meteorologist Max Vido said.

A few of the records that could be broken date back to the 1800s.

"Most high temperature records across the region stand in the 90s, so these cities are expected to consistently challenge records during the heat wave," Vido said.

In Charleston, South Carolina, the National Weather Service called it "prolonged and dangerous heat wave."

Weather.us meteorologist Ryan Maue referred to the heat as a "death ridge" that will bring calm winds and bone-dry conditions, in addition to the extreme heat. (A "ridge" is an area of high atmospheric pressure, one that prevents clouds and rain from forming.)

No cooling showers are expected, either: "The chance for precipitation will remain virtually nil," the weather service in Atlanta said.

The duration of the heat wave could make it "life-threatening," Weather.com meteorologist Jonathan Erdman said. "Minimize your time outdoors during the hottest times of day, typically from late morning through late afternoon. Drink plenty of liquids and wear light, loose-fitting clothing if you must be outside for longer periods of time," he advised.

Unfortunately, the unusual heat is predicted to continue baking the Southeast well into early June, according to the latest forecast from the Climate Prediction Center.

No No No - Per AOC it's that DC had a tornado watch. Watch, not warning. Like that's never happened before. And of course it never gets sweltering in the South. Try training at Ft. Benning in the summer, cool as a cucumber.

Oh NO!!! Heat is the Southeast? They may have to get air conditioning...

It seems to be obvious, bit if they are breaking 100-year old heat records it means it was that hot 100 years ago... Just sayin'...

+1 . . . but people with mental disorders, who are spewing this garbage, can't comprehend.

It is called weather and it is no proof whatever of EITHER climate change OR human-caused effects on climate.

Or Fort Gordon, Georgia.

L.W.

It is 96 degrees and no wind in Eastern NC and no rain in sight. Corn rolled up and in places brown. Canals that I have never seen dry are dust dry. We need a afternoon boomer.

pity

1994 me thinks it was I went to Camp Perry to shoot the long range matches. When I left North Louisiana it was 104F with 80% humidity! Having flown 900 hours that summer in an 'open cockpit Ag-Cat' with a 600 HP P&W radial engine emitting a good bit of heat, needless to say I got a good laugh when I walked out on the ranges upon my arrival at Perry as the loud speakers were blaring TAKE YOUR SALT TABLETS! TAKE YOUR SALT TABLETS! It was a COOL 80F degrees with about 40% humidity and there was a cool breeze blowing onto the range off of Lake Erie! Damn Yankees just couldn't take it as the dispensary filled up that afternoon with folks suffering from heat exhaustion!

And the proof that it is Man-made through CO2 emissions is found where?

Pipe some of that heat to Wyoming.

44 degrees here.

Both suck in the summer, so might as well throw in Ft. Stewart

More climate change lies. Since when does it not get hot in the SE USA?

90 here now, wind blowing from the south. It’s drying up fast here. It will be 85 plus with no wind very soon.

Really, I would have thought it was proof summer is on it's way...I must be slow today.

+100

The day I graduated from HS in May 1978 the temp was 103. Nothing new. Just more tree hugger fake science Bullschitt.

Actually no...it is now a religion.


Seriously, do you think I am kidding?

Have a look at the mad fervour they present, if that is not religious frenzy I don't know what is.

And we have experienced 3 different snow storms in the last week.

Changes almost daily here.

Like most of your all's BS, article doesn't mention climate change (man made or any other). Just OP's more attempts to drum up hits on his BS.
