A frontal system moving through the area will cause showers and thunderstorms mainly this morning although there will still be a chance of afternoon or evening showers. Temperatures will be slightly lower than yesterday, but the humidity will be higher.
High pressure will then build into our area from the west which will likely give us the nicest weekend weather of the summer with plenty of sunshine both days, seasonably warm temperatures and low humidity.
Monday will continue to be pleasantly warm.
A weak frontal system will give us a low chance of showers on Tuesday.
Hotter weather can be expected Wednesday through at least the start of next weekend. We should stay dry but the humidity will rise.
