Don't look for a washout but keep the umbrella in hand. Winds are very light. Humidity remains moderately high with highs mainly in the mid-80s.

Confidence: Medium-High | | A LOOK AHEAD Saturday remains humid with an ever present shower/thunderstorm chance (best chance in the afternoon and early evening). There should be plenty of breaks to get outdoor activities in for most. Highs are mainly mid-80s. Showers diminish quickly by sunset with overnight lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Confidence: Medium | | Humidity is still moderate on Sunday but with a little luck most of the showers and thunderstorms favor areas south of the city. That allows more sun to shine through and highs climb to the mid-to-upper 80s. A clearer evening may finally afford a view of the slim but growing crescent moon in the west. Lows are mid-to-upper 60s, but lower 70s downtown. Confidence: Medium Monday has a better chance of seeing rains stay to our south but still close enough for a risk. More sunshine can be expected to push highs to the mid-to-upper 80s and moderate humidity. Confidence: Medium | | | | | | | |
