We have mostly clear skies early on this Tuesday morning and there is a wide range of temperatures ranging from the mid 50s in the Clifton area to as low as 40 in some inland valleys, winds are mainly calm.

With plenty of sunshine today we will finally see some warmer temperatures as high pressure settles into the area.

Near record heat is expected for Wednesday and Thursday as temperatures both days are expected to approach the 90 degree mark;  along with the heat the humidity will be higher.  Dry conditions will continue.

Not as warm on Friday as a cold front will cross the area, it will not be as hot but still well above normal.

More seasonable temperatures over the weekend we should stay dry except for some possible showers Sunday night which may extend into Monday.
