  • Hot and sunny conditions will dominate the region over the next several days.

  • The weekend will be hot and humid, with feels-like conditions well into the 90s.
  • There is still a slight chance of an isolated shower for both our Sunday and Monday, but both chances appear to be non-severe and non-threatening. The area will hang onto these highs in the next week as high pressure continues to dominate.
