Saturday’s forecast calls for sunny skies, a high of 93 with southerly winds 7-11 mph. Winds may gust as high as 22 in the overnight hours as the low temperature drops to 65.
Sunday will be near identical with a forecast high of 92 and winds from 8-17 with gusts to 24 mph. The overnight low will be about 65.
Temperatures will gradually warm next week with Wednesday possibly reaching 100.
“There will be a high pressure ridge building and how warm it gets and which day is the hottest depends on how long it decides to stay around,” Boothe said. “It could get close to 100 and stay that way for a few days.”
