Saturday was still warm but not quite as much as yesterday with highs only in the low 80s reached by mid/late afternoon. Partly to mostly cloudy skies was the norm during most the PM hours. Storm chances were lower than expected in my immediate area but other sections of the region did get some action. Minimum temps were much
warmer today with lows only reaching the low 70s in the early morning hours. Dew points helped those rising mins quite a bit, climbing from the lower 60s at the
beginning of the day to the lower 70s by early-mid-afternoon.

The winds still held Friday’s moderate pace during the afternoon but veered slightly to a NW direction. Barometric pressures were highest in the early morning hours
and lowest in the later afternoon.

Sunday and Monday should be warm to hot and humid with highs in the low 80s on Sunday and low 90s on Monday with partly to mostly cloudy skies and lows around 70
both days with relatively low rain chances. Cooler max temps in the low-mid 70s and lows in the mid 50s with mostly cloudy skies and rain showers on Tuesday associated with a strong cold front which should bring us cooler, relatively nice days on Wednesday and Thursday with highs of 75-80 and lows in the 55-60 range under mostly sunny skies.
