Roasty Toasty Weather Conditons Ahead

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We were able to get a few showers and thunderstorms going in our western commuties yesterday along the dryline. The cap was broken just enough for these to form. Nothing reached severe limits. I don't think we'll be lucky enough to see any more rain for at least the next five to possibly seven days. I won't completely rule out an isolated shower or thunderstorm popping up along the dryline in our area, especially with temperatures as hot as they are going to be. The main problem is that we will have a pretty strong high pressure ridge and cap in place across our area. I would say our chance of seeing some rain by the end of the week is less than slight.

Get ready for some hot temperatures for the next five days. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s. Breezy conditions are expected tomorrow. Windy conditions should be here for Saturday. In fact, most of the area is under a Fire Weather Watch already for Saturday afternoon and evening. We need to continue to be careful and follow all the necessary precautions in order to prevent fires.

Some relief could arrive by Tuesday afternoon in the form of a cold front that will bring highs back down into the 80s. No rain is expected right now, but that could change depending on how much moisture is in place when it arrives. We'll keep you posted.

Have a terrific Thursday!
