We are looking at a decent day today with sunny skies this morning but clouds will develop today and we could see a few "pop-up" showers and maybe a rumble of thunder.  It will be very warm and humid once again with highs in the middle to upper 80s.  Mostly cloudy skies will be with us tonight and it will be muggy with lows in the middle to upper 60s.  Thursday will start off with some sunshine, but an approaching cold front will help to develop some afternoon showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.  It will still be warm and humid on Thursday as highs climb into the middle 80s.  Any showers and thunderstorms will come to an end by midnight and our skies will slowly begin to clear out by Friday morning.  Friday will feature partly sunny skies and it will be less humid and begin to turn cooler with highs in the middle 70s.  Looking ahead to the upcoming Memorial Day weekend; Saturday and Sunday will feature sunny skies with highs in the lower to middle 70s.  Memorial Day Monday will be very nice with highs in the upper 70s under partly sunny skies.
