Still sizzling, but cooler days ahead next week.

FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS:

• 
  Today marked our 20th triple-digit day of the year.

• 
  Got any Friday evening plans? It’s going to be slow to cool down this evening.

• 
  There’s a glimmer of hope for rain next week.

FORECAST:

Here we go again… expect triple-digit temperatures daily for the next week or more. However, there’s a slight chance of rain late next week, offering some relief.

There’s hope for a small pattern shift by next Thursday and Friday, potentially allowing a disturbance to move in from the Gulf of Mexico. As of now, it’s just a 20% chance, but it signals the possibility for a change in the weather.

By this time last year, we had already experienced 51 triple-digit days, whereas this year we’re only at 20. But, of course, more scorching days are yet to come.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Ernesto is currently impacting Bermuda and is expected to continue doing so until Sunday afternoon.
