Awfully Anticipated Alleviation Arrives

Temperatures only fall a bit, but a lot of humidity will be flushed out tonight.

If you hate the heat and humidity, you’re in luck. After a brutal stretch of tropical dew points and near-90º highs, we’ll be noticeably cooler and much drier heading into the weekend. Variable clouds will stick around for much of our Friday, aiding a slight cooldown into the mid-80s. Rain chances remain minimal through the first half of the weekend, and plentiful sunshine should be on tap for our Saturday. Rain chances return Sunday evening and continue into the weekend, but the cooler temperatures remain. Some spots may struggle to get out of the 70s for much of the new week ahead.

Tonight: Storms early, then some clearing. Low: 68°. Wind: NE 5-10.

Friday: Variable clouds. Breezy. High: 84°. Wind: NE 10-15. Gusts: 20-25.

Friday Night: Mostly clear. Cooler. Low: 63°. Wind: Light.

Saturday: Gorgeous. High: 85°. Wind: NE 5-10.
