The weekend which is the last weekend before the Labor Day holiday weekend (which is next weekend) is a reminder that summer is winding down so we should take advantage of the nice weather while we have it. This past week has been one of low humidity and cool temperatures. We will be slowly losing both of those this weekend but it will still be rather nice. Today is a day of lots of sunshine and high temperatures will reach into the lower 80s in most locations. Humidity levels are reasonable and should remain so today with dew points in the mid to upper 50s. No rain is forecast anywhere and radars are in silent mode.
