Hot, Slightly More Humid

It's another pleasant start to the day with temperatures in the upper 60s, but temperatures this afternoon will be anything but pleasant. The persistent upper level ridge will slide slowly eastward today and will allow temperatures to soar well into the 90s again this afternoon. Low level temperatures also warm a few degrees compared to the last couple of days so we should top out around 98 today. A cold front will be approaching the region from the north and this will allow winds to turn more southerly later today. As a result, dew points will begin rise and this will make it feel a little more uncomfortable than the last couple of days. The heat index still shouldn't be a major factor for most of the day, but you'll probably notice it feels more sticky by this evening. The front will inch its way closer to the area this evening, and it appears likely that a few clouds may arrive early Saturday morning. This cloud cover and increasing moisture will only allow for lows tomorrow morning to drop to 72. Latest computer model guidance is actually indicating the possibility of highs in the upper 80s for Monday and Tuesday. That would be a welcomed relief!
