'Cooler' Friday before heat returns Saturday

What We’re Tracking

• Pleasant Friday
• Near record highs Saturday
• Several cold fronts ahead

Temperatures are starting off near average this morning in the upper 50s. Winds will be gusting out of the south near 20 MPH. We may even hold on to slight breezes throughout the daytime.

The next cold front slides in later today, dropping high temperatures to the lower 80s. Again, this is another brief cooldown. Dew points will continue to remain low in the middle 50's. Dry air throughout the weekend.

The heat really makes a comeback on Saturday 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. We look to continue our roller coaster with temperatures for Sunday as we drop back down into the lower 80s for Sunday.

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.
