Aug. 21: More heat and afternoon storms into the weekend

The pattern is on repeat with high temperatures consistently in the low to middle 90s. With high humidity, the heat index could exceed 105° at times.

We are in our typical rainy season pattern with showers and thunderstorms popping up in the afternoon. Some could contain frequent lightning, gusty winds, and heavy rain. This is much needed rain for the ongoing severe to extreme drought.
