Forecast in detail
Today (Monday): The first day of the workweek is also the nicest. Expect lots of sun, low-ish humidity (dew points 55 to 59) and afternoon highs in the low 80s for most. There's a light breeze from the northeast at 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: High 😎 Nice Day!
Tonight: A great evening to spend some time outside as temperatures fall back through the 70s. By morning, lows range through the 50s under mostly clear skies. Winds are mainly calm. Confidence: High
Tomorrow (Tuesday): Lots of sun and a little warmer than Monday, but still nice. Highs reach the low to mid-80s while humidity remains low (dew points 50 to 55). A gentle breeze from the south (around 5 mph) might start to filter in during the afternoon. Confidence: High 😎 Nice Day!
Tomorrow night: A few more clouds and not as cool. Lows range from the upper 50s to mid-60s as a light breeze from the south continues. Confidence: Medium-High
A look ahead
Our weather honeymoon ends Wednesday as southerly winds pump in warm, sticky air, pushing highs to near 90 and increasing humidity (dew points climbing through the 60s). Skies are partly sunny and there's a chance (30 percent) of scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms. Partly cloudy and muggy at night with lows near 70. Confidence: Medium-High
Thursday and Friday are probably the hottest days of the summer so far, and humid too. Skies are partly to mostly sunny both days, with highs in the mid- to upper 90s. Factoring in humidity (dew points near 70), it could feel closer to 100 degrees. Scattered showers and storms are possible (30 percent chance or so) both afternoons and evenings; some could be intense. The nights remain warm, with lows in the upper 60s to mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
It's a little less hot over the weekend but still steamy. Highs both days reach the low to mid-90s, with nighttime lows near 70. We keep the chances for late day showers and storms in the forecast, but Sunday may offer somewhat higher odds. Confidence: Medium
