The first weekend of June kicks off with stronger heat, with Saturday highs near 90 to the low 90s (maybe some mid-90s) combined with mostly sunny skies. Humidity jumps a bit toward the moderate side. Partly cloudy and muggier Saturday night with mid-60s to low 70s for lows.
Sunday isn't as toasty with mid- to upper 80s, partly sunny skies, and a shot for late-day showers and thunderstorms, especially northern and western parts of the region. Confidence: Medium
Some models bring back needed rain chances early next week with clouds as winds shift to more of an onshore flow. Other models keep us on the drier side. Highs aim for the somewhat cooler 70s to near 80.
