A slight change occurs late in the week as a cold front approaches. We’re not expecting any rain from it, although it will bring in more humidity from the Gulf so expect temps to feel a little stickier by the end of the week.

More humidity Thursday

Don’t worry - although the humidity increases, it won’t be off the charts... until next week.
