Finally after having either heat or rain most of this month the next three days we will enjoy nice summer weather with plenty of sunshine through this period, low humidity with dew points in the 50s and seasonably warm temperatures with highs in the 80s. Also we will get rid of the haze from the fires out west as upper level winds will be more from the northwest.

Humidity and temperatures increase Sunday as a slow moving trough will be in our area. There will be a chance of showers from late Saturday night through Monday.

High pressure will then dominate Tuesday and Wednesday with dry conditions and quite warm temperatures with moderate humidity. However there is a chance that the haze from the fires may return which will keep high temperatures somewhat lower.
