INITIAL COVERAGE:
A few showers or storms could linger into this evening, but we should be mostly quiet overnight with lows still hanging close to 70.
With a weak disturbance still nearby, a pop-up shower or storm can’t be ruled out Saturday afternoon, although most neighborhoods won’t see it. Less humid air moves in Saturday night and will allow for a nice but warm end to the weekend.
Dry weather and sunshine can be expected early next week, with more heat on tap as we approach Tuesday and Wednesday. At least a couple of 90-degree days are possible before a cool down closer to next weekend.
