Lower humidity should stick around through the first part of the weekend. Highs will still reach the low to mid 90s Saturday.
Storms move in next week
Storm chances increase next week and the wetter, stormier weather will help hold temperatures down. There is a complex weather setup ahead with a cold front forecast to sweep across the state mid-week.
This front could pull in leftover moisture from what is now Hurricane Polo in the Pacific and could lead to heavy rain at times.
