NBC5 Forecast: Typical Summer Heat Sticks Around for the Next Several Days

The overall pattern will favor mostly sunny, dry, and hot weather for the rest of this week and over the weekend. Next week, however, the main ridge of high pressure will push back into Four Corners region. That will open a door for a weak cold front to drop into our area by Tuesday morning. That will give us at least a little break from the heat for a few days! There will also be a chance for some scattered showers and storms.Until then, you know what you need to do: Stay hydrated and take frequent breaks if you must be out in the heat for an extended period. Make sure you provide fresh water for your pets and keep them cool. TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Low: 79. Wind: S 10-15 mph. THURSDAY: Mostly sunny and hot. High: 98. Wind: S 10-15 mph.
