High pressure will slowly move off the coast today and we will have another nice summer day today with seasonably warm temperatures and becoming slightly more humid by this afternoon. A warm front approaching our area will give us a chance of showers mainly after midnight.
The warm front will move to our north Sunday morning accompanied by a chance of showers. During the day it will be partly sunny, hot and more humid with dew points in the uncomfortable 70s. A cold front will move through Sunday evening possibly accompanied by some heavy thunderstorms.
High pressure will then build over the area giving us dry conditions with comfortable temperatures and humidity Monday through Wednesday.
As the high pressure moves off shore we will have a return flow from the southwest bringing back heat and humidity for Thursday and Friday. A cold front may cause some afternoon and evening showers on Friday.
