Another record high temperature is likely today, but it should be a little cooler than yesterday, although the humidity will be rising this afternoon as the strong high pressure moves offshore.

Warm and muggy on Wednesday with rain developing as a slow moving cold front approaches from the west. Rain should develop in the afternoon and become heavy at times through Wednesday night.

The cold front will cross the area early on Thursday morning but a wave on the front will cause showers most of the day. It will be cooler with highs in the 60s dropping to the 50s by sunset.

Dry with near seasonable temperatures Friday into the day on Saturday.

Another low pressure trough will give us a chance of more showers Saturday night through Monday. Temperatures will remain near normal.
