Even after the sun goes down, it will still be warm as temperatures will stay in the low 80s later tonight.

Temperatures will continue to climb through this weekend with highs approaching 100 degrees for Saturday and Sunday.

Also, for this upcoming weekend, it will be a little breezy with highest gusts expected at 20 MPH.

With the hotter temperatures, this will lead to moderate heat risk across the area.
