The overall weather pattern isn't going to change much for the next couple of days, so we will see, mostly cloudy skies today with warm and very humid conditions.  There will be a risk of showers and thunderstorms at any point during the morning and afternoon, so it is a good idea to have an umbrella with you, just in case.  Our high temperatures today should climb into the upper 70s and lower 80s.  The showers will briefly end tonight and it will be mostly cloudy with lows in the middle 60s.  Tuesday will be another warm and humid day with highs in the middle 80s with more clouds than sunshine.  Once again we will have the risk of a few showers or thunderstorms.  Wednesday will feature clouds and sun mixed with highs in the middle 80s.  A cold front will approach the region on Thursday, so we will start off the day partly sunny but in the afternoon we will see a risk of showers and thunderstorms. Look for highs to top out in the middle 80s.  Finally, partly to mostly sunny skies will return for Friday and the upcoming Memorial Day weekend with highs in the lower 80s.
