Sun Makes for Nice Beach Day to Close 4th of July Weekend

After scattered showers on the 4th of July, high pressure building in the region will provide an awesome finish to the holiday weekend.

Planning on heading to the beach? Sunday features an abundance of sunshine, comfortable levels of humidity and a light northwest wind. Temperatures will be in the upper-80s inland, lower-80s on the shoreline.

Temperatures soar to the 90s on Monday, marking the third time temperatures have reached that height so far this year. The humidity will still be pretty low. A mix of sunshine and puffy cumulus clouds is expected.

An increase in humidity will arrive Tuesday and Wednesday, accompanied by an abundance of clouds and scattered showers and thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are most likely on Wednesday. Temperatures will be in the lower- and mid-80s.

A cold front will come through the state at some point late Wednesday and clear things out for late week.
