Here comes the triple-digit heat.

A high of 90 is forecast for Friday with a top of 97 on Saturday, says the National Weather Service.

The Sunday through Wednesday outlook calls for a high of 100 each day. Lows will be in the lower 70s.

Winds will be relegated to less than 10 mph through the weekend. Stronger breezes may return by the middle of next week, the weather service says.
