· One of the more sweltering muggy morning this summer will see improvement as dew point temperatures that are in the mid 60s to low 70s move out thankfully with a slow moving frontal system bringing a transition day to our region today.

· Sunshine will be on the increase but temps will still be topping out well above normal by about 10 degrees.

· The jet stream westerly’s are revving up and that means more changeable weather this weekend.

· The next system quickly moves in Saturday afternoon with a few showers as a warm front and then a cold front works through Saturday afternoon and Saturday night.

· Another transition day to less humidity and a drying out Sunday-into the afternoon so expect ups and downs over the weekend.

· Best stretch of Weather coming is definitely Monday into Tuesday with a nice stretch of dry project weather, low humidity and comfortable.

· I’m off Monday through Thursday next week at the National Weather Association conference in Norfolk VA keeping up on the latest and there is a lot to keep up on now…
