7/10: We take a break from our summer bake
Express forecast
Today: Partly to mostly sunny, some haze. Highs: Near 90 Tonight: Partly cloudy. Lows: 65-75. Tomorrow: Partly to mostly sunny with p.m. storm chance. Highs: 88-92.
Forecast in detail
After last week’s streak of heat and humidity, we are enjoying a bit of a respite this week with temperatures closer to normal and more moderate humidity. The wrinkle in the forecast is that sunshine is sometimes filtered by upper air smoke from Western fires.
Outside of that, we’ll need to watch for a possible line of thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon, with additional chances on Friday and Sunday, but most days and most hours should stay dry.
Today (Tuesday): Partly to mostly sunny skies that could be hazy and smoky at times. Highs range from the upper 80s to the low 90s with only moderate humidity (low to mid-60s dew points). Light winds from the west around 5 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Wednesday): Partly to mostly sunny again with some periods of smoky haze possible, too. A line of afternoon showers and thunderstorms is possible, but it would be short-lived if it materializes. Highs in the upper 80s to low 90s once more with dew points in the low to mid-60s. Winds come from the southwest at about 5 mph morning to midday, but then shift to come from the northwest at 5 to 10 mph and may turn a bit gusty as a cool front moves through. Confidence: Medium

Saturday night may see a few clouds around with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Sunday looks partly to mostly sunny, but we need to watch for scattered afternoon to evening thunderstorms as humidity inches up a bit and temperatures hit highs in the upper 80s to around 90.
