Models show at least some low-end rain chances heading into next week, but nothing is suggestive of anything more than a 20% chance at this point. We’d expect Monday and Tuesday to be mainly dry with the mid-80s continuing.

Humidity levels will rise heading into next week as our wind direction turns southerly and brings in Gulf of Mexico air.
