Get ready for a sun-soaked weekend with temperatures that show a slight dip before temperatures begin rising yet again.
Saturday: As we kick off our weekend, expect clear, blue skies overhead. The day will be sunny with a high reaching near 93°. But don’t let the number deceive you; when factoring in the heat index, it may feel as warm as 97° out there.
And while it’s a touch cooler, always ensure you’re keeping hydrated. A gentle northeast breeze at around 5 mph will occasionally rustle the leaves and offer a bit of a relief.
Sunday: Starting sunny and bright, Sunday mirrors Saturday’s high of near 93°. However, there’s a slight twist. The heat index is expected to surge, making it feel as toasty as 101°. Please take precautions if you’re planning any outdoor activities. To add a splash of unpredictability, there’s a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms rolling in after 2 p.m.
Looking ahead, Monday appears to be turning up the heat. While the day promises to be sunny, temperatures are slated to touch a high of near 94°.
