This week's weather has a very clear storyline: extreme heat followed by a refreshing taste of early fall.
Thursday and Friday are exceptionally hot, with Friday potentially reaching 99 degrees . Saturday becomes the transition day as thunderstorms accompany a front moving through the area.
Behind that front comes a significant change. Sunday through Tuesday should feel dramatically better , with highs only in the lower to middle 80s and nighttime temperatures dipping into the mid-60s . Labor Day Monday currently looks especially nice.
The cooler break doesn't last indefinitely. Temperatures begin climbing Wednesday, with lower 90s possible again by Thursday.
