More isolated to scattered storms are expected through this weekend. Strong winds and heavy rainfall leading to localized flash flooding remain the primary hazards with the strongest storms. Much drier conditions are in store Sunday heading into next week.
Highs in the upper 90s and near 100 degrees become commonplace again by early next week after a brief "cool-down" Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile, rain chances largely diminish, such that only low (10-15%) chances remain in the Davis Mts. by next week.
