High temperatures will be in the mid 90s over the weekend. Any relief with rain will be a 20% chance for isolated showers or thunderstorms. The heat index will be from 100-110.
Tropics continue to be quiet. With El Nino now in place, stronger wind shear in the Atlantic Basin may help to keep this hurricane season from being above average.
