Forecast in detail
Today (Friday): More sun than not with highs reaching the mid-80s to around 90. Moderate humidity may briefly dip in the afternoon (dew points perhaps dropping to the low 60s to near 60) thanks to a light, dry breeze from the northwest. Very slight chance of an isolated afternoon shower or thundershower as a warm front passes by. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: A generally pleasant evening for outdoor activities, with temperatures falling through the 80s, though clouds may increase a bit with time. Mainly mid-60s to around 70 for lows, with a bit of humidity returning. Confidence: Medium-High
Hourly Forecast | Pollen, Air & UV
Tomorrow (Saturday): A touch warmer despite a mix of clouds and sun. The cloudiest spots farther north may get stuck in the mid-80s, but most of us should hit the upper 80s to low 90s. Breezes from the south may gust near 20 mph. Humidity is still on the moderate side, with dew points around 60 to 65. Another very slight chance of a pop-up shower or storm toward evening. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: Mostly cloudy with a shower or storm possible mainly after midnight. Humidity rises, and lows only cool into the upper 60s to mid-70s. Breezes from the south may continue to gust near 20 mph. Confidence: Medium
Sunday: Mainly cloudy and a bit windy. Slight shower chances all day, with an added and more widespread thunderstorm chance during the afternoon. Highs still get fairly warm, in the mid-80s or so. We may get warmer if rain chances evaporate a bit — stay tuned. Confidence: Medium

A look ahead
Sunday night: Some showers are likely, and there are also storm chances. Both are more likely near and after sunset. Skies remain mostly cloudy, with humid lows near 70 to the mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
Elevated chances for showers and storms continue into Monday. A few afternoon and evening storms may turn strong, and downpours are possible. Clouds and rain chances should cap highs in the 80s, but we’ll refine this as we get closer. Confidence: Low-Medium
Lower shower and storm chances — and humidity — are possible Tuesday. A bit more sunshine should boost highs into the mid-80s to near 90. Confidence: Medium
The afternoon hit-or-miss storm pattern likely repeats through the workweek, with heat and humidity slowly building, as it looks now.
