Those who aren't fans of the sweltering heat can rejoice knowing temps will cool down as the week progresses thanks to the return of an onshore flow.
NBC 7 Meteorologist Sheena Parveen said a weather system approaching the region looks like it could bring some wet weather with it.
"... It looks to give us the best chance of showers later Saturday," Parveen said in her forecast. "Looks like Saturday evening and Saturday night, and we could have a couple of lingering showers early Sunday and then we dry out for the rest of the weekend."
Parveen added that Sunday will be the coolest day of the week for much of the county.
