       8/10: With summer’s severity behind us, these warm, sunny 80s are a plus.

       Express forecast

       Today: Sunny. Highs: 84-88. Tonight: Mostly clear. Lows: 66-71. Tomorrow: Partly sunny, p.m. scattered storms. Highs: 85-89.

       Forecast in detail

       A relatively tranquil early September pattern continues to deliver comfortable warmth with frequently sunny skies. Humidity ticks up slightly higher over the next 24 to 36 hours before Wednesday’s cool front and its showers and storms sweep through. Behind the front, we have pleasantly warm weather with lots of sunshine again late this week into another lovely weekend.

       Today (Tuesday): Compared to Monday, there’s an incremental increase in humidity as bright sunshine pushes highs into the mid-to-upper-80s. Most spots should gain one to two degrees on Monday’s temperatures. Dew points increase into the upper 50s to around 60 by the afternoon (still well below typical summer levels). Light winds blow from the southwest at five to 10 mph. Confidence: High

       Tomorrow (Wednesday): Our warmest day of the week also brings scattered showers and thunderstorms by late afternoon into evening. Skies are partly sunny most of the time, but tend cloudier later in the day with highs in the mid- to upper 80s. There’s an outside chance of a 90-degree reading, which would be the first of the month. Humidity is marginally higher, too, with dew points in the mid-to-upper-60s. Winds are from the south at five to 10 mph, except gustier around any thunderstorms. Confidence: Medium-High

       A look ahead

       Thursday should see the cool front out of the picture with partly to mostly sunny skies returning as temperatures only reach the upper 70s to low 80s, with humidity lowering into the afternoon for a very nice day. Thursday night looks mostly clear with lows in the 50s to low 60s. Confidence: High

       The weekend looks like a weather winner, too, with mostly sunny conditions both days. Temperatures reach the lower 80s on Saturday and then mid- to upper 80s Sunday with just a slight increase in humidity. Lows Saturday night range through the 60s with partly cloudy skies. Confidence: Medium-High
