NEW YORK (WABC) -- Friday will bring more sunshine, with only a few spotty storms expected to develop, with the best chance remaining south and west of the city. Areas farther north could see a storm if activity forms earlier in the day, but most locations will avoid significant weather.

The bigger story will be the drop in humidity. Conditions will begin improving Friday afternoon, with noticeably drier air arriving Friday night. That comfortable air mass will remain in place throughout the holiday weekend.

The forecast looks favorable for outdoor plans from Saturday through Labor Day. Temperatures will stay comfortable, and the oppressive summer heat will be absent. Saturday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with highs near 79 degrees. An isolated shower cannot be ruled out, especially north and east of the city, but most of the day will be dry.

Sunday will bring a few more clouds and cooler temperatures, with highs only in the mid-70s. It may feel more like late September than early September. An isolated shower is possible, but overall conditions remain pleasant for outdoor activities.

Labor Day currently stands out as the pick of the holiday weekend. Mostly sunny skies and temperatures around 78 degrees are expected, making it the best opportunity for outdoor gatherings and travel plans.
