Keep an eye to the sky this evening for threatening weather obviously and then once the weather front passes, weather conditions will improve and humidity is set to take a big drop on Wednesday. We will see dew points into the 40s in some places which we haven’t seen in about 2 months.

Not only does the humidity drop but the temperatures will take a nice drop as well making it a delightful day with sunshine. Most areas will see highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s!

Unfortunately it doesn’t last as temperatures Wednesday night will hold in the 60s as some clouds move in. Humidity will be back on Thursday along with higher temperatures as we head into the mid and upper 80s. There will be some scattered showers and thunderstorms around Thursday night into friday thanks to  the arrival of the next cold front for Friday which will stall out and then a stronger front will arrive with a good chance for showers on Saturday.
