Heat persists, major storm on the way

We remain under an Excessive Heat Warning through 8 p.m. today, and the Inland Empire is also under a Heat Advisory as highs will again be in the one-teens.

We'll see slight drier condition today and tomorrow, then a major system moves in late Saturday. Hurricane Hilary is moving steadily up along the coast of Mexico and threatens INCHES of rain for the Valley and surrounding region Saturday night into Monday.

Hilary will bring widespread rain and the potential for flooding starting Saturday afternoon, with heavy rain expected Sunday into Monday. It will then remain fairly humid through most of the week with a chance of thunderstorms and showers.

For this reason, the First Alert Weather Team has issued a First Alert Weather Alert from noon Saturday until midnight Monday night, tracking the potential wind, rain and flooding.

The massive storm will drop temps significantly through the weekend, with the heaviest rain expected Sunday.
