The Weather Service's detailed forecast predicts continuing sunshine for Thursday with a high of 57, accompanied by a mild northwest wind at 3 to 6 mph. Thursday night's skies will remain mostly clear, with the thermometer dipping to around 39. The trend of sunny skies extends into Friday, with temperatures making a mild recovery to a high near 66 and barely a whisper of wind to speak of.
As the week progresses, the weather pattern holds largely steady. Partly cloudy skies will blanket Friday night with lows near 47. Saturday's forecast suggests another mostly sunny day with highs teasing the mid-70s. That night, the temptation of rain creeps closer, veiling the skies partly cloudy and setting the stage for a dip in temperature to around 51.
Sunday to Tuesday shapes up to be a mixed bag, with mostly sunny days and highs in the low 70s, before a shift early next week. Rain enters the conversation on Monday, and by nightfall, it looks to mingle with snow as the lows take a plunge to around 37. Tuesday could see a curt encore of this rain-snow mix, teasing with a partly sunny high near 46, a sign that fall is holding court with winter just around the stage's corner.
