High pressure, temperatures in the mid 90s & plenty of sunshine arrive just in time for the unofficial start to summer. Despite only a few upcoming days with chance thunderstorms, the hot & dry forecast will stay with us into at least next week. Near record temperatures continue today. For tonight, temps will stay warm with lows in the upper 60s. Light patchy fog will develop overnight & burn off quickly Wednesday.

Otherwise the rest of Wednesday will be mostly sunny with highs in the low 90s. Much of our area will be under a slight chance of a thunderstorm for the afternoon & evening hours ahead of a cold front swinging through the area Wednesday night. Look for lows in the mid 50s Wednesday night as the system exits east.

We're lookin' at more sunshine with lots of dry air Thursday. We'll get a break from the oppressive heat as well. Temps will be a few degrees cooler than previous days, reaching the mid 80s. Cool air will linger into Thursday night keeping lows in the mid to upper 50s.

Friday will be partly cloudy with a slight chance of a afternoon convection thunderstorm. Otherwise rain chances remain slim and brief through this weekend and into next week. High will build back into the area for this weekend. Daytime highs will again be in the low 90s.
