Discussion
High pressure and a new air mass will push into the region today following the late night frontal passage and overall humidity levels should drop noticeably during the day. Tomorrow promises to be a nice day for mid-July with comfortable temperatures and humidity levels and then it’ll turn very warm again on Thursday afternoon, but humidity should remain relatively reasonable for one more day. Hot weather will return on Friday and continue this weekend with high temperatures likely in the 90's each day. A frontal passage on Friday night could spark a few showers and thunderstorms as the weekend begins and - given the frontal passage - 100 degrees no longer looks achievable this weekend.
