This is the first of two fronts moving through. It will remain warm and humid tonight with lows in the upper 60s to mid 70s. Thursday brings a second front through in the evening. It will be hot ahead of it with a west wind and sunshine. Highs will reach the upper 80s to lower 90s. We should see ample daytime heating with this and solid upper trough approaching so there is another risk for severe weather on Thursday. The Storm Prediction Center has upped the risk for Thursday to marginal risk.

The second cold front will move offshore early Friday morning and there might be some leftover showers around into daybreak or a bit beyond daybreak before we see decreasing clouds and increasing sunshine with much lower humidity. Highs Friday will just be in the upper 70s to around or just over 80. There are no changes in the outlook for the weekend with cool temperatures and sunshine Saturday and a mix of sun and clouds for Sunday. Highs both days will be in the 70s with an ocean wind developing. The humidity will be low through the weekend.
