Weather update: Air: Hot and muggy; water, still cool

Tonight's looking foggy, with partly cloudy skies, temperatures staying pretty close to daytime temps, dipping to about 61 degrees, and mild southwest winds.

But if you like summer, you'll like what comes next.

Saturday we should have mostly sunny skies, southwest winds and temperatures shooting past the 70s and 80s and reaching 91 degrees.

Saturday night will stay mostly clear, with temperatures falling to a balmy 71 degrees and calm west winds.

And then! Sunday and Monday look like mid-summer, with temperatures hitting the mid-90s and clear, sunny skies.

But the sunny, hot days can be deceiving. They're also humid.

"Popup thunderstorms" are possible any time during the next few days.

Coastal waters remain chilly, drawing a caution from the Coast Guard.

As the temperature climbs, air quality will dip. Saturday and Sunday have been declared the state's first two ozone-alert days of the season.

State beaches are open. For more on area beaches, see our beach map.

One local beach is already closed, however -- Mackerel Cove Beach in Jamestown. Keep up with closures via the state Department of Environmental Management's Beach Monitoring Web page.
