The first official day of summer does not happen until June 21 but our area may get an early preview in the next few days.
If current weather forecasts hold, temperatures will be in the 90s Friday-Sunday. On Saturday, temperatures could approach 100 degrees.

Suffocating heat has toasted Texas for much of May — hottest on record in Dallas so far, and most 100-degree days in Abilene. Now some of that heat is headed toward the East Coast, including DC. https://t.co/rrert34cut
