Forecast in detail The week commences with a super steamy day, perhaps the hottest of the year so far, but then a cold front coming through Tuesday kicks it out of town. The front produces a slug of rain, but beautiful sunshine, cooler temperatures and low humidity follow in its wake. Friday then acts as a bridge between the refreshing air on Wednesday and Thursday and the muggier weather that arrives over the weekend.

Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Partly cloudy skies with a slight (20 to 30 percent) chance of a shower or thunderstorm. It's muggy, with lows from 71 to 76.

Keep reading for the forecast through the weekend … Tomorrow (Tuesday): Showers and thunderstorms are likely, especially between midmorning and midafternoon, when the rain could be heavy. The clouds, rain and passing cold front mean temperatures don't rise much; in fact, high temperatures between 75 and 80 may come in the morning, with temperatures falling to 70 as the rain comes through. Light winds from the south become northwesterly during the afternoon. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: A lingering stray shower is possible into the evening before partial clearing overnight. It turns quite refreshing, with lows 55 to 60. Winds are light from the northwest. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead The spectacular weather we saw Wednesday and Thursday last week returns for a curtain call on the same days this week. Highs both days range from 75 to 80 under sunny skies, and humidity levels are very low (dew points in the 40s and 50s). Overnight lows are mostly in the 50s, except close to 60 downtown. Confidence: Medium-High It does warm up on Friday, but humidity is held in check for one more day (dew points in the 50s to near 60). Under sunny skies, highs are near 85. It turns more humid Friday night as lows settle in the 60s. Confidence: Medium-High The weekend brings conditions more typical of late June, with partly sunny skies, moderately high humidity (dew points 65 to 70) and highs in the mid- to upper 80s. Each day brings a chance of late-day storms, with Sunday carrying a somewhat higher likelihood. Saturday night is mild and muggy, with lows in the upper 60s to mid-70s.
