       6/10: Hard not to like a cooler day with lower humidity after such a week of oppressive heat, even if a few showers could interrupt at times.

       Express forecast

       Today: Mostly to partly cloudy. A few showers. Highs: Near 80 to low 80s. Tonight: Mostly cloudy. Showers possible. Lows: Upper 60s to low 70s. Tomorrow: Showers and storms possible. Highs: Near 80 to low 80s.

       Forecast in detail

       Ninety-degree-plus temperatures are behind us, at least for the next several days. The cold front that moved through last night brings us more pleasant air, but with frequent rain chances through midweek as the remnants of Fred eventually move through our region.

       As morning temperatures rise through the 70s, it’s mostly to partly cloudy and less warm. By afternoon, highs top out near 80 to the low 80s. The humidity isn’t too bad with dew points near 60. We could see some lingering showers or a thundershower around early this morning, with an isolated shower or storm possible thereafter. Light breezes blow from the northeast near 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

       Tonight: Skies are mostly cloudy and the humidity is on the rise as tropical moisture starts to stream back into the area. The next round of potential showers tries to move into the region, especially after midnight. Low temperatures bottom out in the upper 60s to low 70s. Confidence: Medium-High

       Tomorrow (Monday): Some showers and storms are possible, especially during the afternoon, under mostly cloudy skies. The humidity returns, too, with dew points back up to around 70 or a bit higher. Highs end up around 80 to the low 80s again. We’ll keep an eye out for few afternoon downpours, which could cause some patchy flooding. Confidence: Medium-High

       Tomorrow night: Skies remain mostly cloudy, as more showers and storms could roam the region. With light southerly breezes continuing to pump in moisture and humidity from the Gulf of Mexico and warm Atlantic Ocean, our muggy low temperatures may only get down to the upper 60s to mid-70s. Again a few downpours may cause patchy flooding. Confidence: Medium

       A look ahead

       Hit-or-miss downpours give us continued flooding concerns Tuesday and Wednesday as humid high temperatures manage a couple of degrees more warmth, in the low-to-mid-80s. Sky conditions are perhaps partly sunny overall, but it may get cloudy and rainy with little warning in this type of tropical air mass. Our feed to the tropics has opened and remnants of tropical disturbances may continue to influence our weather through at least Thursday. Confidence: Medium
