A cool start to this weekend will give way to some of the hottest temperatures we’ve seen in a while. We could have a weekend of entirely dry weather for the first time in over 2 months. We could even see a heat wave to start next week.

Rest of today – the headline of the weekend is a dominant area of of high pressure. Today, while the center of the high pressure sits off to our west, we’ll experience cooler temperatures in the mid-70s with mostly sunny skies and northerly winds.

Saturday – the warm up will begin with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-80s as the center of the high pressure center dominating our weather continues to move east.

Sunday – by Sunday, the center of this high will be to our southeast. This will result in very warm air flowing clockwise around the western periphery of the high, giving us temperatures in the low-90s and sunny skies. Great beach weather! A mid-level disturbance could touch off a couple isolated thunderstorms, more likely inland during the overnight hours.

Monday – the hot weather continues with temperatures in the mid-90s and mostly sunny skies.
