Humidity levels have been creeping higher since Saturday and we are going to be back in the soup for today as well as the week ahead. We will also be dealing with a series of waves moving around the Bermuda high. It is building into the Southeastern US. A southwest flow aloft is bringing up ripples in the flow. It will not be raining all the time but there will be some downpours and a few heavier thunderstorms to deal with during the week ahead.

We continue to move along in this nice weather pattern. The northwest flow does push upper troughs through the Northeast. Yesterday we saw scattered showers pop up in a few places as the upper trough went by. While the temperatures at the surface have been on the warm-ish side, temperatures aloft a colder and that creates a bit of instability. Today should be a day of sunshine with just a few passing clouds. Highs will reach 80 to 85 in most places. I'm leaving the mention of an isolated shower out of the forecast. Most lows tonight will be in the upper 50s inland and low to mid 60s coast and warmer urban areas.

We are still holding on to relatively dry and and relatively low dew points in the mid to upper 50s. That is still keeping things rather comfortable and it is certainly better than dew points in the low 70s and temperatures in the 90s. We will see sunshine today. There have been upper troughs rotating around an upper low in Eastern Canada and you can see it clearly on the satellite loop but most of the clouds with this are well to the northeast so we should be no worse than partly sunny today and at times mostly sunny. High temperatures will be in the low to middle 80s;

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.
