Tomorrow (Friday): If you liked today, you’ll love tomorrow. Almost a carbon copy, with perhaps slightly lower temperatures. Under mostly sunny skies, highs are in the near-80-to-mid-80s zone most spots. Humidity is very low, as well. Winds are out of the northwest around 5 to 10 mph. Enjoy it, as big heat is around the corner.
