FORECAST:
- It is going to be another very warm day as highs will be in the mid-90s with dewpoints in the low 70s.
- Air quality will be “moderate” on Friday, so that is an improvement from the past 72 hours.
- There is a slight chance for some rain Friday evening, but most of the heavy showers will stay to the north and west of the city. The region will be under a level 1 on the severe weather outlook. The mountains will see rain mainly after 3 p.m.
- The biggest risks will be downpours and strong winds.
- Feels-like temperatures will be close to 100 throughout the weekend.
- The rain chances will continue to increase through Monday with the next best chance of rain being Sunday night. No day will be a complete washout, but Sunday will be the worst of the weekend. The good news is that the rain appears to hold off until after Around the Crown.
- There will also be a rain chance for the holiday but that looks to be non-threatening. Highs Monday will trend slightly cooler by the afternoon.
TROPICS:
- There are two systems in the Atlantic that could bring some rain and high rip currents to the coast next week but pose no real threat inland.
