Hot, but no longer humid

We've settled into a steady late August pattern of hot, dry days. Roanoke hit 90 today for the second day in a row and third in four days. Our daily high temperatures here in the valley have consistently been between 86 and 90 for 10 days straight now. But it's no longer humid: Today's mid-afternoon dew point was in the mid 50s, dropping the relative humidity into the 30 percent range. No significant change is expected at least through the weekend.
