Temperatures rise ahead of a seasonal weekend

THURSDAY: Expect a hot and dry day. Abundant sunshine and a light southwest breeze will boost temperatures into the low to mid 90s during the afternoon. The humidity will be low as dew points stay in the low 60s so heat indices won’t be much of a concern.

TONIGHT: Temperatures drop into the upper 60s under mostly clear skies with light winds, making for a comfortable and seasonal night.

EXTENDED: A weak cold front drifting south Friday could spark some spotty t-storms Friday late-afternoon into evening. Any that form during late afternoon could be strong but severe storms are not expected at this time due to a lack of wind shear. Into Saturday, temperatures will drop slightly making for a seasonal weekend with low humidity. High temperatures will stay in the upper 80s under partly to mostly sunny skies. Monday looks dry and seasonal but rain chances return Tuesday into Wednesday as an upper level wave of low pressure moves in from the west. Periods of showers and t-storms are possible from Tuesday through early Thursday with temperatures staying in the mid to upper 80s.
