THIS WEEKEND
Saturday will still be hot with highs will be in the mid-90s for the day. It won’t be as humid, but still enough to make it feel like we’re just in the triple digits during the heat of the day. I can’t totally rule out a very isolated shower Saturday, but most if not all of us stay dry.
Temperatures finally drop back near 90, and some spots in the 80s, on Sunday with a break in the humidity and a mix of clouds and sunshine. A shower also cannot be ruled out for Sunday, but most of us stay dry.
NEXT WEEK
We’ll finally see temperatures drop back into the 80s on Monday and Tuesday of next week with a small chance of an afternoon rain shower.
