Robust upper-level ridge and anomalously warm SSTs are consolidating. GFS/ECMWF ensembles show potent atmospheric forcing, driving thermal amplification. Expect peak afternoon surface readings to clear 92°F, potentially hitting 93-94°F. Strong directional bias. 95% YES — invalid if ridge breaks down early.
