Highs Thursday will be back in the 70s for most as clouds increase.
After the potential rainfall moves out, things will heat up heading into the weekend. The weekend should be mainly dry with highs in the 80s Saturday and temperatures will likely be near 90 degrees Sunday and Monday.
In addition to the heat, the muggy air will be moving back in Friday ahead of the warmer temperatures. Dew points will be well into the 60s, perhaps even near 70 at times.
Cooler air arrives for mid to late week next week. Highs may struggle to reach 70 by the end of next week.
