Our warm and humid weather will stick around through Friday with possible afternoon thundershowers, then we'll get some relief from the heat and humidity over the weekend. Expect partly clouds skies today, becoming mostly cloudy by afternoon with scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms possible. Highs will top out near 80 degrees with southeast winds 5-15 mph, gusty near any storms. Thunderstorm activity should become more isolated on Thursday before ending on Friday as a drier southwest flow begins to develop. High pressure over the area will also weaken and shift east this weekend, allowing a trough to return to the west coast next week. This should lead to a gradual cooldown with near-normal temperatures and dry weather next week.
