We have arrived at the doorstep of the weekend and we are going to have one last day of sunshine and low humidity before things change. Satellite loops show an upper trough to the northeast over Atlantic Canada. That is slowing down the next upper trough and cold front that is moving across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. This leaves is in sunshine for much of the day and temperatures will be topping out in a range of 80 to 85. Dew points will remain reasonable in the mid to upper 50s. No rain is in the forecast for today and overnight. Humidity levels across the Northeast and Northern Mid Atlantic will begin rising as a southerly flow develops along the East Coast bringing in low level moisture. Saturday morning lows will be in the 60s for the most part. Now as far as the weekend goes, if you have to pick one day I would go with Saturday over Sunday.
