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.

One more day of sweltering heat, despite the showers and thunderstorms that are expected to develop this afternoon into this evening, and continue through next week.

Isolated severe thunderstorms are also a possibility, along with blowing dust, particularly to the west and northwest of Tucson.

Temperatures are expected to drop into the high-90s tomorrow, and stay that way throughout most of the week.

High: 108

Low: 79
