Pinpoint Weather Alert: Hot & muggy on Saturday, strong PM storms possible
We are tracking what will be quite a hot and muggy weekend, with a few thunderstorm chances during the afternoon and evening. A very summerlike pattern.
Temperatures are starting in the mid- to upper 60s and lower 70s this Saturday morning, with highs expected to possibly crack the 90-degree mark for the first time this year later Saturday in many locations. Be sure to drink plenty of water and find as much shade as possible throughout the day.
Saturday is a Pinpoint Weather Alert, as there will be a few hit-or-miss showers and storms that pop up during the afternoon. A storm or two this afternoon may contain gusty winds and small hail. Have the Pinpoint Weather App handy if you are out at any of the numerous outdoor events scheduled across the Queen City News viewing area this weekend.
The better chance for more widespread storm chances will arrive late Saturday evening, as a decaying complex of storms moves into the region. Model data as of this morning is showing a weakening trend with that line of storms as it moves into the Carolinas tonight around 8-9 pm. However, frequent lightning and isolated damaging wind gusts are possible late this evening.
Conditions will dry out tonight, but we will stay warm and muggy, with lows only falling into the upper 60s and lower 70s.
Anticipate another hot and muggy day for Sunday. Temperatures will surge into the mid to upper 80s for the afternoon. Although we will not be tracking another complex of storms for Sunday, there will be another chance for pop-up showers and storms during the afternoon, before tapering off by the evening.
Damaging wind gusts will once again be the top concern with any storms that become strong to severe on Sunday, but it is an isolated threat.
This general summerlike pattern will continue for much of next week. Hot and humid conditions, with general afternoon pop-up showers or thunderstorm chances most days.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Triple-digit temperatures headed to Southern California. When will heat spike?
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — After a cooler than normal start to summer, temperatures are finally heating up as we get the month of August started. High pressure to our east will be strengthening and expending west from New Mexico to Southern California and, as a result, will bump afternoon temperatures five to 10 degrees above average. Much of San Diego County under heat advisory later this week. Here's where Heat advisories go into effect Wednesday for the valleys and mountains, which will feel max temperatures 90 to 100 degrees with an extreme heat warning bringing temperatures up to 118 degrees to the desert communities. Thursday seems like it will be the hottest day of the week with beaches feeling close to 80 degrees, mid-90s for the valleys and mountains, and around 115 degrees for Borrego Springs. We are keeping an eye on Indio, Palm Springs, Thermal and Borrego Springs to tie or potentially break daily temperature records during this heat wave. Since we have not felt summer heat like this in a while, there is a bit of an increased heat risk, especially for East County residents. Most areas except the immediate coast will be categorized as having a moderate heat risk with deserts leveled up to a dangerous heat risk level. Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, wearing light and loose-fit clothing, exercising earlier or later in the day to avoid peak hot temperatures, and avoiding long periods of direct sun exposure. A few coastal clouds will develop each evening, but will be patchy in coverage and look to clear pretty quickly in the morning hours. In addition, smoke from the Gifford Fire burning in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties continues to drift into our air so expect hazy conditions the next few days.
