Through tonight: It will be an all-night wait for the cold front to pass, so it will stay muggy after any storms end. There could be a shower or two at times; perhaps a storm, but probably not too intense. Lows will range from near 70 to the mid-70s. A few patches of fog are possible.

Tomorrow (Friday): Sunshine will be plentiful, and humidity dropping. Cooler air will lag a bit behind the front, so it will still be pretty toasty, as highs reach the upper 80s. Humidity will be on the way down by late day, though! Northwest winds will blow around 10 to 15 mph, gusting to 25 mph.
