Humidity remains the main weather story through the end of the week. While there will be plenty of dry time, the warm and muggy air will support scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms today and again Friday. Not everyone will see rain, but any storm that develops could produce brief heavy downpours and gusty winds.

The weekend turns quieter with a mix of sun and clouds and seasonable warmth. Heat then begins to build early next week, with temperatures climbing into the 90s by Tuesday and reaching the middle 90s by Wednesday under abundant sunshine.

Today: Partly sunny, warm and humid with scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the lower to middle 80s.
