77/71 and some low clouds . Warm and high humidity and pending on when the clouds burn off will see if we touch 90 in many areas or more stray 90. Similar tomorrow with humid, warm conditions and scattered storms in the evening. Sun (7/9) more widespread storms and potential soaker (>2 inches for many) lingering into Mon (7/10) a trough and front move through. By Tue (7/11) its warming again, continued humid and next shot at 90s. Wed (7/12) and Thu (7/13) wil see a very warm airmass move through but more scattered storm, with enough sun could push mid 90s.
