NEXT Weather


Saharan dust moves in this weekend which will lead to hazy skies, lower air quality, less rain and more heat. Record highs will be possible as highs soar to the mid to upper 90s on Saturday and Sunday. Only a few storms will be possible with the dry, Saharan dust in place.

Next week the rain chance increases as the Saharan air dissipates.
