Clouds will remain over portions of the area today thanks to the storms this morning, resulting in mostly cloudy conditions for your Friday.

REMAINDER OF THE WEEK: Temperatures will be HOT on Saturday! We will top out in the upper 90s, with a few of us making it to the triple digits for the first time this year. Be sure to practice sun safety! Also, be sure to check your vehicles to make sure your pets and children our out of it before you lock it. A cold front will push through the region Sunday, dropping highs into the upper 80s and lower 90s, making for a comfortable Father’s Day. Isolated rain chances will return for Monday and Tuesday, as temperatures warm from the upper 80s into the middle 90s. We will close out the end of the work-week next week with sunshine and highs in the upper 90s.
Have a great day!
