Another hot day with temperatures peaking just a hair below 90. Most of the area will stay dry with lots of sunshine today. Weak upper level trough and lingering moisture may produce a few showers with potential for locally heavy downpours in some of the higher elevations and further south. Generally clear skies overnight will quickly lead to loss of enough daytime heating to limit thunderstorm activity across the area this evening into tonight. Lows will be in the low 60s.
We start Thursday mostly sunny and dry. Highs will again be real close to 90. Another weak cold front will arrive late Thursday and get hung up over our area into Friday. Scattered showers & storms could ramp up Thursday afternoon & into the overnight hours. Locally heavy downpours are possible, especially in our mountain counties and further south. Overnight lows will be similar to the past few nights.
Threat for leftover showers and mountain storms will still exist for much of the day Friday. Temperatures will be more on the mild side during the day Friday. All the cloud cover will limit much of the direct solar radiation. Mild into Friday night/ Saturday AM with gradual clearing skies by Saturday.
Dry air and surface high pressure gain control over the area Saturday. This will allow for lots of sunshine & temps well into the upper 80s both Saturday and Sunday. Forecast will heat up for Monday. Highs will creep past the 90 degree mark ahead of a cold front. Dry air mass will gradually erode late Monday into Tuesday of next week.
