Tomorrow (Labor Day): Skies will remain overcast for the duration, with warm and muggy conditions. Highs will be in the mid-80s, with uncomfortable dew point values. The first half of the day should be dry, but shower chances (50 percent) increase by the late afternoon and certainly overnight, when a few rumbles of thunder can’t be ruled out along with some pockets of heavy rain. Lows tomorrow night will be right around 70 degrees with near 100 percent humidity and areas of patchy fog likely.
