the weather
High yesterday was 98° The low this morning was 73 °
Today: Sunny and Hot with a high near 99° and heat index values as high as 103°. Light and variable wind becoming S-SW near 5-10 mph this morning.
Temperatures this weekend may reach into the triple digits, but with lower humidity the heat index shouldn’t reach heat advisory temperatures. A few locations may meet the heat advisory criteria for a short time, but they will be spotty at best, so the National Weather Service is not planning on issuing a heat advisory for today. However, the return of moisture in the air over the weekend means the return of heat indexes over 105° for early next week. Keep the faith, though, it looks like some disturbances will be heading this way from the north breaking down the ridge of high pressure responsible for these toasty days.
Tonight: Mostly clear with a low near 76°. Winds will be SE at 10-15 mph.
Saturday: Mostly sunny and hot again, with a high near 99°. The heat index could reach 102°. S wind 5- 10 mph.
Saturday night: Mostly clear with a low near 76° , S-SW wind at 10-15 mph .
Sunday: More of the same….sunny and HOT with a high near 99°, S wind 10-15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. .
. Next Week More summer weather with the highs in the high 90’s and the lows in the high 70’s. With the disturbances moving in from the north our rain chances could look better.
