It felt a bit more like early August today as temperatures reached the mid-to-upper 80s for highs. On the bright side, there was lots of sun, and humidity remains fairly low. It seems a good bet we’ll warm it up further Friday, with temperatures rising to near 90 in the afternoon. Our breaks in summer never last too long.
