follow this wave of pressure, and then that is when we will start to see the threat of showers and thunderstorms. and then moisture will come in out of the atlantic, and then that will tap into the moisture and bring us showers and thunderstorms starting late tomorrow afternoon and lasting for a good part of the workweek. for today, mostly sunny. comfortable. low humidity. temperatures in the 80s. looking good. mostly sunny for today. 85. and then cooler for monday and tuesday, as more clouds push into the area. and the moisture is starting to creep in. with the lower pressure coming through, we could have a chance of thunderstorms, and you add into the daytime heating. and then the humidity does return, and each day we could have a couple showers out there. >> it is july. >> what are you going to do? >> thank you, steve. up next, a pair of nfl pros,
