Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
A more refreshing end to the work week… We will see mostly sunny skies today with just a few clouds in the mi, mainly along the coast. High temperatures will only reach to near 80, about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday and below normal for this time of year. Dew point values will drop into the low 60s and upper 50s, making it feel more refreshing for this time of year. It will also be breezy today with north winds at 5 to 15 mph, stronger near the coast and lighter inland.
Friday will be another fantastic day with mostly sunny skies. Highs will return to the low 80s and humidity will stay low with dew point values in the low 60s.
The nice weather will continue for the weekend. We will see mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies with highs in the low to mid 80s. We will warm into low 90s early next week and humidity will return. Rain chances will stay low for the next 7 days.
