Forecast in detail Today is really the only blip in an otherwise pretty terrific weather week. While perhaps a touch hotter, you'll mainly notice the higher humidity today, along with a chance of storms especially toward and during the evening. Once we clear out tomorrow morning's early clouds, it's clear sailing straight through Saturday, with cooler air and lower humidity before a warmer Sunday. Today (Wednesday): It is only slightly hotter than yesterday, with highs heading for the upper 80s under partly sunny skies. But the humidity is noticeably higher, with dew points in the mid-60s and a breeze from the south around 10 mph with some higher gusts. Can't rule out an isolated shower or storm during the day, but the better chance of storms should wait until closer to evening.
