A slow moving cold front will move into our area today which will give our area a chance of showers and thunderstorms. The showers will be slow moving so there is a chance of heavy rain in some of the storms. Temperatures again will be quite warm and the humidity will continue to be high with dew points remaining in the 70s.
The front will only push just south of our region Thursday and Friday with showers again possible. With more clouds and an onshore wind temperatures will be lower than today with somewhat lower humidity as dew points drop into the upper 60s.
The weekend looks good as high pressure builds into the area from the north giving our area dry conditions with temperatures at or slightly below seasonable levels.
