Father’s day is looking fantastic with low humidity and comfortable temperatures. A weak upper level system will produce some mid to high level clouds dimming out the sunshine at times, but all in all, the day will be pleasant and dry with highs in the 70s.

As we turn our attention into next week, high pressure will build over the eastern seaboard ushering in extreme heat by Wednesday continuing into Friday. As it looks now, highs will reach well into the 90s, especially Wednesday and Thursday, with heat indices close to 100 degrees!
This is the first time this year we’ll see an extended period of extreme heat, so please take every precaution to prepare in advance.

Have a great Saturday!
