The heat will be building over the next few days and from Friday into the weekend and early next week, highs in the upper-80s to around 90° are possible.
If we were to reach 90° or higher on back-to-back days during this stretch, this would be the first time since September 3-4, 2012, when we hit 92° and 93°, respectively.
Looking back over the past few years, the first occurrence of back-to-back 90° or higher days happened in May in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
In 2011, that was on May 10th and 11th. It was on May 23rd and 24th in 2010, and on May 26th and 27th in 2012.
However, it was even later than right now back in 2009. It wasn't until June 22nd-25th that we had successive days of 90° or higher temperatures and once the heat did arrive, we made it to four consecutive days.
Of course, clouds and thunderstorms will play a big role this weekend in achieving back-to-back 90° highs and we'll continue monitoring the daily chance of showers and thunderstorms that are possible, along with a sun and cloud mix.
