High pressure to thank for the comfortable stretch of temperatures

 Incoming high pressure brought all the smoke and haze down toward the surface for Thursday, limiting air quality and visibility at times. High pressure brings sinking air, working to trap that smoke near the surface. With high pressure overhead, some of this smoke and haze will linger into the weekend.

But that high pressure will also keep a lot of the humidity at bay for a few more days, with high temperatures only reaching the low 80s by the weekend. We slowly climb back near average (mid-80s) toward the middle of the week.

The high pressure also keeps most of the rain away, as we look to see a mainly dry forecast at least through the weekend. The only tiny chance for rain through Sunday comes in the form of a couple isolated sprinkles Friday morning.

Eventually, moisture and rain chances will make a return as the high pressure weakens and slides off to the East. As we build in this higher moisture from the West, we will see a slow increase in rain and storm chances, along with humidity. Scattered coverage of rain looks to start Monday night into Tuesday.
