As commuters head home, the weather will become serene with partly cloudy skies and gentle winds, while temperatures are predicted to dip to a cooler 43 degrees, this according to the NWS forecast. Looking ahead, Friday maintains the trend of partly sunny skies with daytime highs poised at the same meditative pitch of 58 degrees calm winds.
Moving into the weekend, the forecast provided by the National Weather Service suggests a gradual increase in temperatures, as Saturday peaks at a comfortable 67 degrees. There's a possibility of rain looms towards the night with a modest 30 percent chance of precipitation drawing near to the midnight hour. The likelihood of rainfall surges come Sunday with an 80 percent chance signaling a wet conclusion to the weekend.
