A look ahead
Friday and Saturday look like a pair of nice days. Both should be partly to mostly sunny with highs in the upper 70s to mid-80s and not too humid (dew points in the mid-50s to low 60s). Friday and Saturday night lows fall back to near 60 to the mid-60s. Confidence: Medium-High
Sunday looks like a decent day, too, with highs in the 80s. But perhaps with rising humidity and the chance of an isolated late-day shower or storm. Confidence: Low-Medium
