Overview
- A warm, mainly dry pattern will hold through the weekend and into early next week with daytime highs in the 80s and nights staying mild.
- Some areas are forecast to reach upper‑80s while overnight lows only dip into the mid‑60s, making conditions feel unusually summerlike for late May.
- Forecast guidance shows humidity increasing by the middle to latter part of next week, which raises the chance of scattered late‑day and evening thunderstorms though timing and coverage remain uncertain.
- An air quality alert can occur during hot afternoons when ground‑level ozone rises so people with lung problems should limit heavy outdoor exertion during peak heat.
- Meteorologists describe the near‑term temperature outlook as confident but say they will keep monitoring model changes and advise checking updates before planning outdoor events next week.
