What to Expect Tonight and Saturday

Tonight will be mostly cloudy with temperatures dropping to around 40 degrees. Winds will be calm at first but will shift to the east at 5 to 7 mph after midnight. This calm start means a quiet night, but the clouds will keep the sky from fully clearing.

Saturday brings a higher chance of rain, especially after 2 p.m. Showers are likely, with a 60% chance of precipitation. Expect mostly cloudy skies and a high near 52 degrees. The east wind will blow steadily at about 7 mph. Rainfall could range from a quarter to half an inch, so carrying a waterproof jacket or umbrella is a good idea if you plan to be outside.

Saturday night will see a chance of showers mainly before 2 a.m., with a 30% chance of rain. The sky will remain mostly cloudy, and temperatures will dip to around 39 degrees. Winds will be light, shifting from southeast to calm by evening. Rain amounts will be light, less than a tenth of an inch, so any late-night plans should be mostly dry.

Sunday and Monday Bring More Sunshine

Sunday looks much brighter. The day will be mostly sunny with a high near 62 degrees. Winds will be calm in the morning and pick up slightly to around 6 mph from the east in the afternoon. This makes Sunday a great day for outdoor activities like hiking, gardening, or a picnic.

Sunday night will be mostly clear with a low near 39 degrees, so expect a cool but calm night.

Monday continues the trend of pleasant weather with sunny skies and a high near 68 degrees. Monday night will stay mostly clear with temperatures around 44 degrees. This stretch of sunny weather offers a nice break from the showers earlier in the weekend.
