Conditions will stay dry tonight with lows in the low 60s before temperatures start to rise as we look towards the weekend.

There could be some fog development early Friday morning

In Friday's forecast, humidity will start to creep back in during the day. Temperatures start at 60 but then warm quickly to 89 for the afternoon. The sky will be partly cloudy.

Saturday is downright humid. While storms are also part of the forecast that day, the humidity is going to be the one thing you really notice! We only cool to 74 that morning and then warm to 90. The afternoon heat index will be closer to 100 due to the higher dew point. In comparison to the heat wave we just went through, Saturday's dew point will be higher than any of those days, so the air will "feel" heavy or oppressive. And then yes, there are chances for scattered showers and storms during the day. There's also a possibility of severe weather Saturday.

We'll dry on Sunday for a nice end to the weekend. We'll see a mostly sunny sky, a high of 85 and lower levels of humidity.
