Into the Weekend: Sunny, Breezy and Warm

Very Hot Weather Forecasted

Severe Weather Possible

Flash Drought Development Possible

Smoke and haze will finally clear out today leading to sunny skies for the weekend. However, breezy south winds will make a return today and tomorrow. We also watch a 20-40% chance of showers and storms Saturday night mainly across western counties.

Summer reminds us that its still around as a prolonged heat wave looks to entrench itself upon the region. Sunday through Thursday are forecast to see high temperatures in excess of 100 degrees and heat indices in the mid to upper 100s. Some records may be in jeopardy as well. Begin making any heat related plans now.

There is a chance for strong to severe thunderstorms to impact portions of the area Saturday evening. Wind is the main threat.

This upcoming period of very hot temperatures will also come with limited to no chances of rainfall resulting in the potential for flash drought to develop across the area. For more info on flash drought please visit: https://www.drought.gov/what-is-drought/flash-drought
