The first weekend of August will be quite a bit hotter than recent days. Temperatures will soar into the mid 80s Saturday with a good deal of sunshine. We expect a sunny to partly cloudy sky Sunday with afternoon temperatures around the 90 degree mark. Monday will be similar, although there is a small chance for a cooling afternoon thunderstorm. 

The heat will be trimmed by a cold front during midweek. Showers and thunderstorms are most likely Tuesday although some wet weather may linger into Wednesday. The end of the work week is likely to be seasonable and largely dry.
