BIG WARM UP FOR WEEKEND
Partly sunny skies are on the way for today, and overall, the weather is looking pretty nice across the area. There is just a slight chance of a passing shower, but many neighborhoods will stay dry through the day. Temperatures will climb into the 60s this afternoon, although it will stay a bit cooler right along the immediate shoreline and beaches with that ocean breeze nearby.
For tonight, skies turn partly cloudy and it will feel a little cool by late evening and early tomorrow morning. Overnight lows will drop back into the upper 40s and lower 50s, so you may want a light jacket if you’re heading out late. Winds will stay fairly light, making for a quiet and comfortable night overall.
Saturday is shaping up to be a beauty. We’re looking at mostly sunny skies with plenty of sunshine from morning through the afternoon. The UV index will be on the high side, so don’t forget the sunscreen if you’ll be spending time outdoors. Temperatures will reach the upper 60s at the beaches, while many inland spots warm into the low 70s. Saturday night stays partly cloudy with lows settling into the 50s.
Warm weather builds in for Sunday with mostly sunny skies and summerlike temperatures returning to the forecast. There is a slight chance of a late-day shower, but much of the day looks dry and very pleasant. Afternoon highs will surge into the upper 70s and low 80s, with somewhat cooler readings along the south shore beaches. It’s shaping up to be a fantastic finish to the weekend.
Be Alert for the cold water temperatures. Hypothermia can set in with 20 minutes.
High pollen counts with the warmer and sunny weather.
