According to the NWS, the pattern of sunshine and clear skies will persist as the weekend approaches, with Friday's high forecasted to be near 82 degrees. This consistent weather is anticipated to continue with mostly clear nights and comfortably cool temperatures in the high 50s.
The forecast for the following Sunday and Monday suggests a notable rise in daytime temperatures, reaching a high near 87 and 92 degrees, respectively. The evenings will maintain the mostly clear conditions with lows hovering around 59 degrees, providing a respite from the daytime heat.
