However, looking towards the weekend, change is sneaking into the forecast as Saturday welcomes "Light west wind increasing to 8 to 13 mph in the morning," as per the National Weather Service, indicative of a subtle shift in the atmospheric mood. The following night is poised to maintain partly cloudy conditions with a low hovering around 55 and a west-southwest wind blowing at a gentle 5 to 8 mph.
