ORIGINAL STORY
If you weren’t quite prepared for the heat the last couple of days, the valley will get a bit of a break early this week.
Clouds and wind will increase throughout the day on Sunday and the temperature will begin to drop after topping off in the low 90s on Sunday.
Residents of the valley can expect scattered showers, maybe even thunderstorms, on Monday. Temperatures around the valley will barely hit 80 degrees.
No rain on Tuesday but the wind is going to stick around for a bit. The temps will slowly rise throughout the week and will be in the upper 80s by next weekend.
The first full week of May isn’t looking so bad either.
Temperatures will be in the mid 80s in the beginning of the week and creep up to near 90 by the end of the week. No rain is expected and winds will be between 10 and 14 mph for most of the week.
