Discussion

Temperatures today should peak near the 95 degree mark for afternoon highs and then likely well up in the 90’s again on Friday, lower 90’s on Saturday, and then well up in the 90’s again on Sunday. A few different frontal systems will bring an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms to the region on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with the best chance likely late in the weekend at which time a cool front will be approaching from the northwest. Any thunderstorm that forms in this hot stretch can produce heavy rainfall and locally damaging wind gusts. The late weekend cool front gets hung up in the region early next week suggesting any relief is going to be minimal. In fact, high temperatures should climb to the 90 degree mark on Monday and Tuesday and probably into the 90’s by the middle of next week.
