Another record high is likely to end the weekend, which would make our 15th record-tying or record-breaking high of the year so far. And it’s not even summer yet. 

Sunday also brings a slight risk for severe weather as a cold front moves through. The main threat is for damaging winds, with a possible line of storms into the evening hours. 

Behind the cold front, temperatures and humidity temporarily take a tumble Monday and Tuesday. It won’t be comfortable outside, but it’ll be more manageable than recent days. 

90s return by Wednesday with middle to upper 90s again on Thursday. The summer-like pattern of warm, muggy afternoons with scattered showers and storms continues through Father’s Day Sunday.
