An area of high pressure to our east helps with a strong southerly flow of very warm air for the next few days. Temperatures will warm into the upper 70s and low 80s for the next three days. A cold front arrives late Friday into Saturday. Ahead of that front we will see rain and a chance for thunderstorms. Behind the front, we cool down. We return to more seasonal temperatures in the low 50s next week.
