Extreme heat, storms with brief, heavy rain ahead — Your 9-Day Forecast

The high today was 104! That’s our 35th triple-digit day of the year. The record is 109 set in 2020. The heat stirred up the scattered t-showers. As we saw right downtown and over I-10 during the middle of the evening commute, a significant thunderstorm dumped quite a bit of heavy rainfall quickly. Do not drive into flooded roadways. More t-showers are likely late into the overnight hours.

TONIGHT:  The skies will be partly cloudy with scattered t-showers.  Some individual storms may produce brief, heavy rainfall.  Overnight, the t-showers will taper off as skies become mostly clear.  The SW winds will range from 5-15 mph with occasional gusts, and the low will drop to 80.

FORECAST:   Wednesday will be partly cloudy and 103.  Expect scattered t-showers in the late afternoon and evening.  Some storms may produce some brief rainfall.  The SW winds will range from 5-15 mph.  High pressure reaches its maximum over the Borderland on Thursday and Friday.  Thursday will be extremely hot with a high of 106.  Isolated late day t-showers will crop up with the afternoon heat.  Friday will also be extremely hot with a high of 106.  We’ll have only a slight chance of isolated PM storms on Friday evening.  Saturday will be mostly sunny and 102.  Sunday will be partly cloudy with scattered late day t-showers.  Sunday’s high:  100.  Monday will be partly to mostly cloudy with a high of 98.  We’ll see a few isolated area t-storms on Monday.
