Sunday: Humidity is moving upward but skies remain largely clear — as long as we don’t factor in the wildfire smoke, which may be thicker. As a warmer wind becomes more entrenched, temperatures respond by rising to the upper 80s to around 90. Humidity is low compared with midsummer, but you’ll probably notice it adding some sweat to your life nonetheless.
