The rain chance stays at a minimum today so expect that sizzling sunshine to mix with only a few clouds.

A southerly wind this Sunday is helping to pump very humid and warm air mass ahead of the cold front.

That cold front arrives by Monday morning as kids go back to school and the rest of us go back to work. So Monday morning will start
humid and warm then cooler and less humid by the afternoon.
