Good Friday to one and all. We are rolling our way into the weekend with steamy temps and an increasing threat for storms. That stormy action kicks into high gear later Sunday into early next week, with much cooler air to follow. This is all part of a fundamental pattern change, leading to the cooler second half of summer I’ve been advertising for a while.

Highs today and Saturday are generally in the upper 80s and low 90s. The west will be a few degrees toastier than that, with humidity levels adding to hotter feel. I can’t totally rule out isolated storms today, with scattered storms developing later Saturday afternoon and evening…

Showers and thunderstorms become more widespread Sunday into early next week ahead of our first cold front dropping in…

Strong storms are possible in that type of a setup, but the cool shot coming in behind it will be pretty awesome…

Another system will then dive in behind this by the end of the week, bringing more showers and storms and a bigger push of cool…

Have a great day and take care.
