Record-challenging heat will make it feel like the middle of summer across the southern United States through much of this week.

Mainly dry conditions and plenty of sunshine will stretch from eastern Texas to Georgia through the middle of the week as an area of high pressure settles over the region.

This area of high pressure will keep pumping in intense heat across the region.

Several record highs were tied or broken across the South late this past week. More records fell on Saturday, including in Jacksonville, Florida, and Charleston, South Carolina.

Sweltering heat will spread farther north and east across the region this week, with temperatures expected to climb into the middle to upper 90s to near 100 F, putting additional records in jeopardy.

Heat expands South 9.8am

Atlanta is likely to challenge record highs each afternoon from Monday through Friday as temperatures soar into the middle to upper 90s. The city's record high for Sept. 12 of 94 set in 1900 could be broken.

Nashville may come close to its daily record of 99 set in 1887 on Tuesday.

Normal highs for the beginning of September across this region range from the middle 80s to lower 90s.

It will feel even hotter across the region as AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures reach above 100 F due to the sunshine and high humidity levels. It may even feel as hot as 110 F away from the coast.

Anyone spending time outside should take the necessary precautions to lessen the risk of heat-related illnesses, such as drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and taking frequent breaks in the shade during strenuous activity.
