Hey insiders, it’s Chief Meteorologist Candace Campos here prepping for what is going to be a pretty hot Easter weekend as highs soar into the upper 80s to low 90s.

Unfortunately, along with the heat comes little to no rain in the forecast, which will continue to worsen our drought conditions, with more county burn bans being issued.
