Here’s today’s Bottom Line
The rainy pattern has ended and that will be replaced with ridging high pressure once again.
This will result in a return to hotter-than-normal temps through the weekend, and near-zero rain chances through at least Saturday.
Welcome to the beginning of Great Heat Wave of 2026 version 2.0.
Fortunately (?) the worst of the heat will go well to our north the way the high pressure ridge is angled.
Low-end thunderstorm chances possibly return early next week.
