Friday brings calmer weather with plenty of sunshine and high temperatures in the mid 80s to near 90. Dew points in the upper 60s will make it a rather warm and muggy day, so make sure you’re drinking plenty of water and have a way to cool off if you’re spending time outside. Lows Friday night drop into the 60s, and the weekend brings more quiet weather with partly to mostly sunny skies and cooler temperatures, in the low to mid 80s.
