By Wednesday night, however, moisture begins to increase again, especially along coastal areas, with temperatures settling near 72 degrees.

The pattern continues to shift on Thursday as humidity rises. A few showers are possible throughout the day, and cooler temperatures will keep highs near 82 degrees.

Conditions improve briefly on Friday, with lower humidity and a pleasant afternoon. Temperatures are forecast to top out around 80 degrees.

Showers return to the forecast for the weekend. Saturday carries the chance for a few scattered showers, but Sunday appears to be the wetter day, with rain more likely during daylight hours. Increased cloud cover and precipitation will hold temperatures in the upper 70s.
