Extreme heat continues into the weekend

The Extreme Heat Warning has been extended through Saturday evening, with forecast highs expected to remain in the lower and middle one-teens.

Yesterday, we hit 115, today with the addition of a little humidity, I'm expecting a high of 113.

The location of the ridge of high pressure is pushing some monsoonal moisture in from the East, so it feels a bit sticky out there.

Dew points are forecast to drop into the afternoon as some winds pick up out of the northwest.

Expect temps to remain in the one-teens through Sunday before we see some modest relief into early next week.
