Residents gearing up for the evening should bundle up once more, with nighttime temperatures expected to dip to the 20s. The NWS forecasts "Mostly clear, with a low around 20. Southwest wind around 6 mph." As the new week dawns, Sunday promises mostly sunny skies with highs stretching to the more temperate forties, while gusts might reach upward of 18 mph.
The pattern of partial sunshine continues into Monday, with the NWS predicting a "Partly sunny, with a high near 51" and winds maintaining their strength from the south southwest, gusting as high as 25 mph.
