Less humid air moves in Saturday night and will allow for a nice but warm end to the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Dry weather and sunshine can be expected early next week, with more heat on tap as we approach Tuesday and Wednesday. At least a couple of 90-degree days are possible before a cool down closer to next weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Make sure to stay weather aware and get the latest forecast on Channel 11 News.
