It's going to be a scorcher today as a Bermuda High brings us some warm, humid air. It'll be a great day to head out to one of the area beaches or to grill out in the back yard. Temps will hover in the low 90s under sunny skies and a gentle 10 mph breeze*. Tonight the temp drops the upper 60s and it'll be just a bit muggy as we settle into the overnight hours. Enjoy the sun while you can because there's rain coming in for the weekend.**

*Just kidding. It's going to be partly cloudy with highs near 8.

**Nope, sorry. Just snow. A few inches worth, possibly, starting tonight.
