The extended period of dryness will only exacerbate the ongoing drought condition across our area, First Alert Weather Meteorologist Trevor Gibbs said.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Mild temperatures to continue through early Thursday with highs around 80 degrees and lows in the 50s & 60s.
  • Warmer temperatures by Friday into Saturday with highs near 90 degrees.
  • We’ll stay dry through Friday and most of Saturday, but an isolated shower or storm will develop late Saturday/Saturday evening
  • We will see widely scattered showers Sunday that will shift more inland through the day. Overall, any rain looks to be scattered and amounts are mostly minimal.
