will be 78 degrees for the currenn temperature, though, right now. seeing mostly cloudy skies, really a hazy kind of suushine. east winds at 8 miles per hour and faye percent relative -- 78% the

another humid day and we o can see that it's sitting to the south and that is bringing the easterly flow from the atlantic. advance from the west.t to as it does, we have the -ossibility of some thunderstorms popping up, maybe later tooay, but the better chance as i said, overnight toniiht into the early morning hours tomorrowwby 9:00 moving into the central counties and even the eastern
