Skies will be sunny as temperatures rise into the upper 80’s today. Predominately sunny and progressively hotter air will envelope the area over the next week and beyond.

There is no rain in sight for the immediate future and temperatures are expected to reach the mid 90’s by summer’s first weekend.

Again this ridge is pretty robust even for June where temperatures will continue in spots to exceed 100F. You can see how it builds and elongated this week on the EPS. Flash drought in spots very possible. pic.twitter.com/5wrBKXA8FT
