Today will be hot and humid under variable to light winds. A few areas of fog could persist in a few spots in the morning, though they should largely lift later on.

Tonight
Temperatures will remain high and winds will be variable or light. This will make for another very warm and muggy night under clear skies. The odd patch of fog may develop locally in the early hours.
