Most will stay dry.SUNDAYNEXT WEEK:The big stories will be the continuation of the dry weather and the increase in heat and humidity. Highs will be in the 80s nearly every day and as we head toward the holiday weekend a 90+ day or 2 may be possible.714Upper pattern by next weekend looks like it will support some big heat.500fridayTROPICAL STORM ERIKA:Will continue giving forecasters headaches, perhaps for a long time. Last night's models were a bit "all over the place" with the general idea being that Erika will strengthen over or near the Bahamas and then head north.
