The next wave is expected on Sunday night. This may impact the "Loud for Love" benefit concert. If planning on attending the event in person, be sure to bring an umbrella.
More rain will be possible through late Monday morning.
A ridge of high pressure will build starting this next work week, bringing back the sunshine and hot temperatures. Drier weather returns starting Monday afternoon. However, the heat isn't expected to reach the average high until Wednesday.
Though temperatures will be at or a few degrees above average by mid-week, the heat index value could reach up 107 degrees.
