The hot weather isn’t expected to ease up anytime soon. Friday and through the weekend afternoon highs will climb into the mid-90s with spotty afternoon storms before climbing into the upper 90s to end June and begin July. A large dome of heat is expected to take over the Midwest and stretch toward the east coast, which will allow temperatures to soar well above average and keep rain chances low. The pattern could break down by Fourth of July weekend, which would create more rain chances, but temperatures will stay very warm.
FORECAST
OVERNIGHT will become mostly clear. The low will be 65. Winds will be calm.
THURSDAY will be partly cloudy. The high will be 92. Winds will be south at 5 miles per hour.
FRIDAY will be partly cloudy. The high will be 96. Winds will be southwest at 5 to 10 miles per hour.
