High pressure over our area will give us a partly sunny day, we will still have some widespread haze and smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Temperatures will be warm but the humidity will still be low with dew points in the upper 50s to low 60s.
A weak cold front will come through dry tonight, then high pressure over New England will give us an onshore flow of cooler air. We should stay dry with much less smoky skies Wednesday through Friday.
Dry weather for the weekend and it should be warmer and a little more humid especially on Sunday.
Quite warm weather for much of next week is likely!
