High pressure in our area will give us a sunny day today with quite warm temperatures with highs possibly reaching the low 90s, however the humidity continues to be comfortable with dew points in the 50s.

Most of this upcoming weekend will be dry and quite warm with a slight increase in humidity. The high pressure will be moving offshore and a trough of low pressure will approach from the west which could give us a shower Sunday night.

Humid with showers likely Monday into Tuesday as a cold front slowly moves through the area. Highs on Monday will be lower with considerable cloudiness but somewhat warmer on Tuesday.

Dry weather is then expected Wednesday through the end of the week with quite warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity.
