High pressure building into our area from the northwest will give us a sunny day today with quite warm temperatures and moderate humidity with dew points in the low to mid 60s.
The high pressure will move offshore on Sunday and we will have more of an onshore flow so temperatures will be slightly lower, but the humidity will rise with dew points averaging in the upper 60s.
Very warm and humid weather to end the month of August. A cold front will slowly approach and come through our area on Wednesday, showers are possible Tuesday afternoon through the day on Wednesday.
Cooler and less humid conditions are expected Thursday and Friday.
