Highs should reach somewhere in the 80s to near 90 depending on cloud cover, and it's rather humid. Tuesday night lows in the mid- to upper 60s. Confidence: Medium
Decreasing rain chances and increasing sun early Wednesday, though an isolated shower or storm remains possible during the afternoon into evening. Highs climb to the mid- to upper 80s with moderate humidity. Wednesday night lows in the mid-60s. Confidence: Low-Medium
High pressure starts to build in Thursday. Skies should be at least partly sunny, with highs in the mid-80s to near 90 and low to moderate humidity. Confidence: Low-Medium
