We start the Memorial Day weekend in summery style -- with sunshine (after some morning clouds), a touch of humidity, and the beginning of a long stretch of 80+ degree high temperatures.
Today
High pressure builds in today from the west. The arriving airmass is warm, but fortunately a light to moderate northwest breeze (at 10-15mph) will provide some refreshment. Expect high temperatures near 83. Dewpoints will be in the low 60s so you will notice a bit of humidity.
