    Some weakness/trouging off the NE coast keeps the core of the heat at bay, but heat pushing east 8/24 - last week of the month and perhaps next spike with ridge Labor day. Looks like max in mid 90s at this stage with strongest heat west and north. Should be enough to get a late season heatwave for many.
