Still hot out but getting real hot this weekend

What we're tracking: High pressure continues to trap heat and pollution near the surface over the next several days keeping us on the warming trend. Moderate to unhealthy (level 2/6 - level 3/6) air quality will be in place the next few days as southerly winds continue to drag agricultural fire smoke from Mexico. Highs will be on an upwards climb the next few days until Monday when a weak cool front arrives Monday night. Highs in the Crossroads going into Sunday and Monday will range between the mid 90s to the mid 100s... Western counties in the Crossroads including Goliad, DeWitt, Gonzales, Karnes, and Bee county are at the highest risk for hitting the mid 100s on Sunday and Monday. Heat indices will surpass 100 for just about everyone each day throughout the next week. Time to start getting hydrated and acclimated to the heat before summer arrives!

Next 24 hours: The heat continues today and tomorrow with highs near the same each day. Mostly cloudy skies in the morning today will slowly decrease to partly cloudy skies sometime in the afternoon bringing highs in the low to mid 90s in the Crossroads. Lows drop again to the upper 70s tonight.

Extended forecast: Highs push on in the 90s with some in the western Crossroads reaching the low to mid 100s later this week and weekend. Heat indices will be above 100 all days reaching perhaps 110+ over the weekend and Monday... See below for more details in your extended Crossroads forecast!
