Heading into the weekend, the forecast suggests more isolated showers after 1pm on Saturday, though most of the day should remain mostly sunny with a high near 81 degrees. The consistent north to northeast wind may call for that light jacket with gusts once again reaching up to 20 mph.

Sunday is shaping up to be an idyllic day for any outdoor endeavors—think picnics, hikes, or a casual stroll along the River Walk—with sunny skies and a high near 87 degrees.

To kick off the next work week, residents should brace themselves for high temperatures, with Tuesday potentially reaching a scorching 99 degrees, dragging in the heat under sunny skies. "Sunny and hot, with a high near 99," confirms an the extended forecast.

Tuesday and Wednesday nights offer little reprieve, with lows settling around the upper 60s to 70 degrees and partly cloudy skies.
