Tonight, the stars may not need to compete with city lights, with an almost crystal-clear sky anticipated and a comfortable low hovered around 48 degrees.

For those planning their Friday outings, keep your umbrellas at arm's reach. The skies are set to cloud over, acting as a prelude to the rain likely after 2 pm, accompanied possibly by a thunderstorm's rumble. "A slight chance of rain" transitions to a full performance, with the National Weather Service pegging the chance of precipitation at 60%. The southwest wind, between friendly gusts, will attempt to soothe with an expected 7 to 9 mph.
