Hot and breezy for Saturday
Oct 05, 2024
What We’re Tracking
Near record highs Saturday
Several cold fronts ahead
Relief arrives Sunday
Temperatures are in the middle to upper 50s this morning as we start out with clear skies and a light breeze. A few spots eastward are seeing some patchy fog that is reducing visibility although most are quiet this morning.
The heat really makes a comeback for the start of our weekend where we are forecasting near record highs yet again in the middle 90s. Winds will be gusting out of the south at 25-30 mph helping us heat up. Be mindful of fire hazards this weekend. Hot, dry air combined with strong winds could easily spark an unwanted flame if caution isn't taken.
We look to continue our roller coaster with temperatures for Sunday as we drop back down into the lower 80s and upper 70s for Sunday. Dew points will continue to remain low in the middle 50's.
Our dry spell does continue over the next 7 days, at least. We are tracking a lot of sunshine and warm temperatures in the low to mid 80s next week. Unfortunately, not looking good for current drought conditions across our area.
It may not be until next weekend that we even see a *slight chance for a few showers...
