Near to potentially record breaking temperatures and low afternoon relative humidity continue into the second half of the week. A few showers and storms will be possible Thursday night, but this will not bring any meaningful relief to the worsening drought.
Dry weather will continue through Wednesday, along with very warm temperatures. Some spots may see a shower or thunderstorm late Thursday or Thursday night. The unseasonably warm conditions will continue for the latter half of the work week and into the first half of the weekend. A cold front will bring showers Saturday night, followed by cooler temperatures on Sunday.
