A look into the future
We start our weekend SATURDAY with a watchful eye to the south. Moisture looks set to return to the region as a weak disturbance moves northeast along the front. This brings a chance of showers and perhaps a thunderstorm in the afternoon. Fortunately, the heat is still contained by a good amount of clouds with highs mainly in the 80s to 85s. Shower chances persist through late tonight. Lows dip into the 60s to 70s. Confidence: Medium
For now, it looks like the front might sag a bit to the south. Sunday. But humidity is rising with dew points rising to around 70°C. A few showers and thunderstorms are possible in the late afternoon and evening. Maximum temperatures are expected to climb to the high 80s and low 90s, with overnight lows in the low 60s and low 70s. Confidence: Low-Medium
A new wave of showers and thunderstorms is possible Monday as another disturbance is likely to migrate into the area along the front, probably just to the south. The greatest probability of significant thunderstorms is south of the city. Maximum temperatures range from the mid-80s to the low 90s. Confidence: Low-Medium
