Forecast: Heat and humidity go on hiatus
We’ve weathered the season’s first heat wave and now it’s back to more typical temperatures for the next several days, though we’re still on the warm side today. Exiting with the heat is that sweaty humidity, which goes super low for a spectacular day tomorrow. Despite drier air moving in, we still face the potential for a lingering shower today and more showers and thunderstorms late Friday.
