Saturday was sunny with a high of 108 degrees, and Sunday’s high is expected to be the same, meteorologist Alex Boothe said.

Sunday afternoon has a 20 percent chance of rain, according to the weather service.

Monday and Tuesday have about 30 percent and 40 percent chances of showers and thunderstorms, respectively. Monday’s high is forecast at 95 degrees and Tuesday’s at 97 degrees, Boothe said.

The chances of thunderstorms will end Wednesday, which will have a high of 100 degrees.
