Discussion

The main weather story continues to be the high heat across the region and wildfire smoke and haze are continuing factors as well. Temperatures will peak later today in the mid-to-upper 90’s and similar highs are likely right through the weekend and into the early part of next week. Rain chances today will increase some during the late afternoon and early evening hours and reduce on Saturday only to rise again on Sunday and Monday when locally heavy rain will be back on the table.
