Ahead of this disturbance, winds out of the southwest will also help to bring higher humidity over the weekend.

Tomorrow will start with sunny skies and morning temperatures in the 60s. Afternoon highs will likely reach the upper 80s with partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will remain warm in the evening, in the middle 70s.
