Comfortable today, but humidity returns for the weekend
Pleasant weather is back today, but the humidity will return for the weekend. We’ll have nice weather today with plenty of sunshine and lower humidity than earlier this week. High temperatures will be back into the 80s to near 90. The area of high pressure that brought the nice weather the past couple of days will move offshore today, allowing the humidity to return over the weekend. With the humidity will come a chance for late-day thunderstorms, but they will be hit or miss, and many places will stay dry. A cold front will move in Sunday afternoon and bring back the chance for a few afternoon storms. The front will move offshore late on Monday, bringing another round of comfortable weather for the middle of next week.
