Another hot and humid day today as the offshore Bermuda high continues a southwest flow. We should remain dry today with plenty of sunshine. Highs will be mainly in the mid 90s and with dew points in the 70s the heat index will rise to near 105 degrees.
A slow moving cold front will cross the area late in the day on Saturday, we should have another hot and humid day, but showers and thunderstorms are likely.
High pressure will then build into our area for Sunday with much cooler and less humid air along with mostly sunny skies.
What may be the best stretch of weather this summer will be with us much of next week with seasonably cool temperatures and low humidity.
