A warming and drying trend dominates the forecast heading into

highs in the upper 80s to 90s before Valley highs increase to the
90s to low 100s with Min RH`s in the upper teens to 20s outside
the immediate Delta region early next week. Minor HeatRisk
continues today before transitioning to patchy Moderate HeatRisk
