High pressure building from the Great Lakes will give us plenty of sunshine today with seasonable warm temperatures and low humidity, perfect weather for outdoor festivities.
The dry weather will continue through the holiday weekend as high pressure moves through our area. Both days will have plenty of sunshine and temperatures will be seasonably warm on Saturday and a little warmer and more humid on Sunday as the high moves off the coast.
Unsettled weather for much of next week as a frontal system moves into our area and remains nearly stationary over or just to our south. There will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms each day with higher humidity.
