Tracking haze, heat, and possible showers into the weekend

Good Friday afternoon, everyone!

Well, we never say never. Isolated thundershowers developed early this morning, and additional isolated thunderstorms will be possible tonight and tomorrow. As of this writing, severe weather is not expected, but be aware of lightning, sudden high winds, and brief rainfall. Most of the area will not see rain, but a lucky few of us might! Otherwise, our weather is still about the July haze and heat. The smoky haze is from forest fires across the Pacific Northwest and Southern Canada. And the heat will give us temperatures back in the 90’s this afternoon.

Tomorrow looks to be a carbon copy of today, while Sunday could see daytime highs topping out near 100. In fact, a range from 100 to 105 will be the norm from Monday through Thursday, the first day of August! No additional rain is expected currently.

Have a safe and cool weekend everyone!
