As high pressure builds into the region, tame weather conditions will be favored through Friday with gradually cooling temperatures through Thursday where we could see lows in the upper 50's and highs in the lower 80's. We will stay dry through Friday where mostly sunny skies will be favored.

High pressure also brings drier air to our neighborhoods with the humid conditions backing off gradually today and staying comfortable Thursday before taking another gradual rise beginning Friday and through the weekend into next week.
