Express forecast

Forecast in detail
A slow-moving cool front washing out over the region is the driver for scattered showers and storms through Friday amid plenty of humidity. Shower chances diminish over the weekend, with plenty of sun and above-average temperatures.
Today (Thursday): Skies will be mostly cloudy, but that is not enough to stop highs from reaching the low 80s in most spots. The warm-up is still enough to set off a few showers/storms mainly in the afternoon, but they should be widely scattered. Humidity climbs (dew points in the low 70s) thanks to infiltrating tropical air. Breezes are minimal. Confidence: Medium-High
