However, as night falls, the warmth gives way to a cooler setting at around 62 degrees, with the southerly winds persisting gently through the darkness.
The weekend brings a subtle shift, teasing a 20 percent chance of showers Saturday afternoon. Though the day should start with clear skies, the sun's dominion is expected to be partly contested, with the high holding steady near today's at around 87 degrees. Light winds from the south southwest will roll through in the afternoon, on a face searching for relief from the heat, only to find a subtle brush of the ocean's breath.
By Saturday night, the possibility of scattered showers lingers, casting a mostly cloudy veil as the low settles around 68 degrees. If a passing shower does grace the city, it should be brief, leaving behind a humidity that lightly hugs the streets. The dance between sun and clouds continues into Sunday, maintaining a 20 percent chance of showers. The high, however, dips slightly to near 80 degrees with a similarly mild sway of wind from the southwest.

Once more, during the night, the city finds itself enshrouded by clouds as temperatures descend to the upper 50s. Tuesday parallels the start of the week, hanging on to a high in the low 70s amidst intermittent sun, seems as though the tide of spring is ebbing, leaving behind a cooler cityscape.
The pattern sustains into Wednesday and Thursday, with daytime highs hovering in the mid-70s, while nighttime brings a blanket of clouds and lows brushing the upper 50s. By Thursday, expect the sky to clear up once again for a predominantly sunny day, with the temperature creeping up toward a high near 78.
