One more day of record heat and then we “cool” a bit as we head towards the weekend.  You know.  If you can call 108 and 110 “cooling”, but considering yesterday was 116 I guess we can!  The EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING has been extended through Sunday, but that should be the extent of it.  Some moisture still hanging around today but it looks like the best chance of a few storms will be to our east.  We may get some of the gusty outflow winds this evening.  Moisture on the increase next week and temperatures cooling some more.  Looks like Monsoon 2017 is getting warmed up!

Mostly sunny today with a record high of 114.  The soon to be old record is 112 set in 1988 and hit again in 1990.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the low 80s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow near 110.  Sunny 108ish Friday.  110ish anyone? Saturday.  A chance for storms Sunday near 110.  A chance for storms Monday 107.  A chance for storms Tuesday 106.

115 yesterday tied the record high set last year.  EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING still in effect through Saturday evening.  Today looks very interesting.  Very hot and very interesting.  First we have leftover clouds (mmm leftovers) from yesterday’s shower activity to our east along with an increase in moisture.  As a result of the cloud cover overnight we are starting the day at a balmy 88 – 90 degrees.  Yikes!  It’s not like we need a head start on this afternoon’s expected record high of 114.  A few thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening with that moisture increase.  Any storms will have more wind and lightning than rain, but someone could get a nice shower.  Otherwise gusty winds near storms and lightning that could cause fires.  Good times.  The heat continues tomorrow near 114 and another record.  Then some hope in sight.  111ish Thursday.  Only 110 Friday!  111 Saturday.  Chance for storms Sunday 110.  Chance for storms Monday 108.

Today’s forecast – 114, Record – 112
Tomorrow – 114, Record – 112
Thursday – 111, Record – 114

108 yesterday and our EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING continues, now in effect through Saturday.  Yikes!  Good news though.  Kinda.  Moisture on the increase for tomorrow so instead of 116 we’ll shoot for 115.  Also a few thunderstorms will be possible especially tomorrow evening.  Unfortunately there won’t be that much moisture so the storms will have more lightning and gusty winds than rain.  Might start a fire or two and did I mention gusty winds near storms.  Yeah, that will probably be a thing.  Typical early Monsoon storms.  Be cool!  Here are the specifics:

Sunny and hot today with a high near 114.

Clear skies tonight with a low in the low 80s.

Partly cloudy tomorrow with an isolated storm or two possible in the afternoon and evening.  Gusty winds near storms with a high near 115.

Just beautiful again this morning!  High pressure is starting to move back in and we’ll be back in the triple digits this afternoon.  Some high cloudiness possible later today and tonight for possible sunset enhancement.  As the center of the high gets closer we will get hotter.  EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING is now in effect for Saturday and will likely be issued for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday as we get closer.  Dad won’t even need charcoal for the grill Sunday!  Just hold the steaks in the air for awhile.  They’ll cook up just fine.  Moisture may be on the increase Monday and Tuesday so we’ll keep an eye whether that will bring a few storms to the weather.  Stay tuned!
