Summer heat returns with a vengeance this weekend. The high pressure system that has been centered west of us all week long will gradually move across Maryland and move offshore later today. The wind will start coming out of the southwest this afternoon and that should warm us to the mid to upper 80s. The humidity won't start rising until tonight so the air should still be comfortable today.

Fun!
There is a slight chance, mainly in the Catskills and Mid-Hudson Valley, for scattered showers or thunderstorms on Saturday night.

Daily highs late next week look to remain in the upper 80s to near 90.
