As we move toward the weekend, the forecast continues to favor outdoor activities, with mostly sunny conditions and highs steadily climbing from 74°F tomorrow to 77°F by Saturday. The wind remains gentle, coming from the East northeast at speeds from 5 to 7 mph, and nighttime temperatures hover around the mid-50s to low 60s. The humidity, currently sitting at 83%, doesn't seem to wane, but the manageable wind speeds offer some relief.
The outlook for Sunday through Tuesday indicates a slight change, as the sun plays peekaboo behind increasing clouds. Highs peak near 78°F on Sunday and edge closer to the 80-degree mark at the beginning of the week, with lows in the low 60s.
