A cold front that swept through the Northeast during the latter part of the week will be the reason for a weekend without oppressive humidity.
Washington, D.C., has not had a high temperature below 90 degrees Fahrenheit since last Thursday, July 23, and there does not appear to be any relief in sight from the hot weather.
High pressure building slowly into the region throughout the weekend will keep dry conditions and sunny skies in the forecast for the next several days.
Relative humidity values are expected to decrease, so spending time outdoors will be more tolerable.
