Hot Weekend On Tap For Us

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The heat continued to be on for us today as highs were mainly in the low to mid 90s across the area. This is actually at and a few degrees below average for this time of year.

We should see our temperatures reach above average levels this weekend and next week. The center of the upper level high pressure ridge that has been in the southeastern part of the country for much of this week will set up shop in the southern plains Saturday through at least next Friday. This means hotter temperatures for our region. Highs look to be in the mid to upper 90s with some locations probably reaching the triple digits. Be careful if you are going to be out in the heat. Take the necessary precautions to protect yourself.

Have a super Saturday!
