Weekend heat

Ernest Soro takes a swig from his drink while he pauses to set down for a nap by his bicycle underneath the shade trees at Reid Park on June 16, 2016, in Tucson, Ariz. High temperatures are expected to eclipse decades-old heat records for Father’s Day weekend.

A drying trend has arrived to the area, momentarily quashing hopes of an early start to the monsoon season.

The good news is that this week brings slightly cooler daytime highs than Tucson was experiencing last week. But while temperatures will no longer be breaking records, they are still set to run several degrees above normal.
