WHAT'S NEW: Things continue to warm up across the region. Expect highs in the mid-80s with a touch more humidity as dewpoint numbers are up too. A northwest wind will give a comfortable start with temperatures climbing as winds shift southwest.
NEXT: The heat and humidity really pick up Friday. Saturday looks mostly cloudy and humid, with scattered downpours and thunderstorms possible. The front slowly clears the area on Sunday although a few leftover showers cannot be ruled out, especially during the morning. And Fourth of July Monday looks mostly sunny and dry through the day, but there is a small chance of showers moving in at night just in time for fireworks, unfortunately. We'll continue to keep an eye!
