Weather
☀️ Warm temperatures will continue today, but much nicer weather is on the way for the weekend!
Almanac: Sunrise/Sunset: 7:12/7:59 • Records: 93° (1998), 44° (2010) • YTD Rainfall: 41.3” (Normal: 41.8”).
Details: We’ll top out in the mid 80s today with sunny skies — a little warmer than normal for this time of year. But cooler temperatures are on the way. A cold front will move through overnight, bringing with it a slight chance of rain showers. Not everyone will see rain tonight, and those who do will see very little; probably not even enough to settle the dust. High school football will be okay tomorrow night, with any rain showers that do threaten our area holding off until the overnight hours.
Further Out: Our high temperature will only be in the low 70s tomorrow and Sunday, with lows dropping into the mid 40s each night. Temperatures will quickly begin to rebound on Monday, and we’ll be in the low to mid 80s much of next week. Otherwise, dry weather will continue, with no rain chances in sight. Slightly above-normal temperatures and near-normal rainfall should be the general theme for the second half of September.
