Hot, humid weather will be with us the next few days with high temperatures reaching into the low to mid 90s inland and upper 80s at the coast. Heat indices will reach 100-103 in the afternoon Wednesday.

A weak cold front is expected to move in early Thursday and stall but won't have a big effect on our weather.

Little to no rainfall is expected with the front as moisture will be limited. A few showers are possible late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning as the front moves through but rainfall amounts will be light.

Humidity will drop slightly behind Thursday's front but rise again as we head into the weekend. Moisture is forecast to increase from the south this weekend which will give us a chance of isolated showers Sunday.

A cold front is forecast to move through next Monday, bringing a better chance of rain as moisture moves in from the south ahead of the front. This will keep our temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s Monday and Tuesday with showers decreasing Tuesday.
