Heat Wave Continues, But Rain May Arrive Over the Weekend

Morning skies are clear and the air feels like a scorching oven. Temperatures today will hit the upper 90s, but because of high humidity it feels like 105 degrees. Even if a brief shower appears, most people will stay dry as the heat dominates. Thursday follows the same pattern. The sun stays out, highs remain in the upper 90s, and the “feels‑like” temperature stays around 105 degrees. A small chance of a sudden rain splash exists, but it will be brief. Friday brings a slight change. The sky will look partly cloudy at first, then two thunderstorms may come in the afternoon and evening.

The probability of rain climbs to about 30 percent, yet daytime temperatures still feel like 105 degrees. A slow weather front moves in from the north over the weekend. This shift brings more cloud cover and a higher chance of showers and storms. The extra moisture will help keep the air cooler, with Sunday highs near 90 degrees. By Sunday night the temperatures drop to the mid‑70s. The weather will be clearer, giving a chance for cooler nights after a hot week. Overall, the region is stuck in a heat‑humid cycle until the weekend’s rain offers brief relief. Staying hydrated and planning indoor activities can make this period more bearable.
