Changes to the forecast may be possible for the end of the weekend Sunday as an area of low pressure swings through from the Rockies.  A few showers and thunderstorms may be possible Sunday evening, but we will keep you posted on that as models have just recently shown this, and there isn't much of a consensus that this will occur.  Low humidity values are expected to continue into late next week, so enjoy this cooler than normal stretch while it lasts!
