On Saturday, sun will give way to a few clouds in the afternoon, but overall it will be a sunny day with still low humidity. Afternoon highs will top out at or just above 80.

On Monday, morning lows will be in the mid- to upper 60s and afternoon highs will be in the low 80s with clouds and some sun. Residents will be feeling the humidity again.

We will have to watch for the potential for severe weather with this system," Simpson said.
On Tuesday, the cold front settles south of the area, but how much is in question, which is why a chance for a shower or thunderstorm remains in the forecast.
