Today (Friday): Sunshine levels are the main question mark. Clouds may linger, especially early morning. Midday and midafternoon have the best chance at seeing the brightest skies of the day. High temperatures rise to the mid- to upper 80s in most spots. Humidity is low, with dew points under 60 degrees for most of us. Northeast breezes may be most noticeable, and refreshing, in the morning and midday hours. Confidence: Medium

Tonight: Skies more clear than not through the night, with any lingering high clouds trying to depart by the pre-dawn hours. Windows may be left open for some fresh air, with low temperatures aiming for the 60s most locations but maybe 70 downtown. A tinge of humidity should be tolerable for this time of year. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Saturday): High sunshine levels return. The driest air of the weekend (dew points way down in the 50s) makes mid-80s to around 90 degrees feel … almost good? A bit of an east and southeast breeze picks up in the afternoon hours, but it should remain minor. A tiny chance of a stray sprinkle or shower midday into midafternoon — not worth planning around. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow night: Skies should be clear and breezes mostly calm. Only a sliver of humidity (dew points around 60) with mainly comfortable low temperatures within a few degrees of 65 to 70. Confidence: Medium-High

Sunday: Mainly sunny with perhaps more afternoon clouds compared with Saturday. Humidity remains under control (dew points below 60 degrees at times) as temperatures top out in the upper 80s to low 90s. Confidence: Medium-High

A look ahead

Sunday night: A solid amount of high cloudiness could keep us in the partly cloudy range for sky cover. Dew points may rise, slowly, deeper into the 60s and give us that slightly humid feeling. Temperatures dip to within a few degrees of 70. Confidence: Medium

Humidity and rain chances slowly rise by later Monday and Tuesday. We could even see a couple heavier downpours during the day Tuesday. Temperatures on Monday could reach the low to mid-90s with enough sun, while more clouds keep it closer to 90 on Tuesday. Heat index values eye the mid- to upper 90s at times. Confidence: Medium
