Looks like there could be widespread 95-100 temps across much of the south. Could Atlanta possibly hit 100 ?

There is nothing significant about the upcoming heat , delete thread now . It may not even qualify as a heatwave which requires multiple days above 95. Stick to Carmel Indiana weather !

Just for a few days. I would consider this a heatwave.
Yea this isn’t much. Maybe one day of mid 90s with 1-3 areas of barely 99 to 100. Foothills only low 90s prob but wishing for mid 90s.

Any time there are heat advisories in the middle of summer that is significant.

Significant ? Lmao , you sure you live in Georgia because anyone who lives in Georgia wouldn’t be all too flustered by the coming heat .

1-3 days of 99-100 isn't significant to you?

Yea summer is hot.

No. If we had 5-10 days of 100+ then I would call it a heatwave.
You gotta be kidding me................ let's see how long before this thread goes horribly bad. Should be fun

120 this august in Atlanta !
I mean places from CAE to Augusta to Macon and maybe even BHM this will last into Saturday maybe Sunday so for those locations especially the AGS to MGM corridor this could be Thursday-Sunday of upper 90s.
For highs?

Well we do get like 3-4 days so I agree.
All I'm trying to say is people are pointing to their yard and saying it's only 2 hot days but as you go further south there's more duration. It's not a record breaker or anything that far out of the ordinary but given the lack of overall heat this year why not. I bet @deltadog03 thinks this sucks

I think this heat wave is equivalent to temps in the upper single digits IMO.
Gefs at mcn 102 102 100 96

Yes but it’s still not thread worthy even for those further south . That point still stands , Augusta July average high is over 94 degrees these days ! That’s close enough to upper 90s that if you fart on the sensor it will jolt up to them. It’s hot certainly and hotter in other places but not thread worthy or significant . Maybe significant is slightly subjective
Not really it would be more like low 40s low 20s here
Dude, upper 90's or even 100 in the deep south in late July is nowhere near the equivalent of single digit winter lows around here and if I have to explain that to you then I'm done.

I don't think Atlanta has hit 100 in 9 years.
It's been a long time for CLT as well and they have a chance on Friday

Even here in Dallas, the temps are only a few degrees above normal.
There's 100% more days in the mid-90s than there are in single digits.

Mid 90s maybe but I think upper 90s are almost as rare as upper single digits in Atlanta.
Maybe for Atlanta but places like Birmingham and Columbia it's normal.

Not even for Atlanta , they hit upper 90s most years .
Temps right now are several degrees ahead of yesterday.
FWD's call to lower highs into the mid/upper 90s due to convective debris (which has mostly thinned out) might not age well.
