Spring is showing its mixed moods this week, offering a blend of mild daytime temperatures, chilly nights with frost, and increasing chances of rain as the week progresses. Whether you’re planning outdoor activities or just want to stay prepared for the changing weather, this forecast breaks down what to expect day by day. Understanding these patterns helps you dress right, protect your plants, and schedule your week with confidence.
Today’s Weather: Sunny and Breezy
Expect a sunny afternoon with temperatures reaching a comfortable high near 61°F. The west wind will blow steadily at 10 to 13 mph, with gusts up to 24 mph, so it might feel cooler than the temperature suggests, especially in open areas. This wind can dry out exposed skin and plants, so consider a light windbreaker if you plan to be outside for long.
Tonight, skies will clear mostly, and temperatures will drop to around 38°F. Winds will shift to a light southwest direction, calming down significantly. This clear sky and calm wind set the stage for a cold night, so if you have sensitive plants or outdoor pets, make sure they’re protected.
Monday and Monday Night: Cooler with Frost Risk
Monday brings mostly sunny skies again, but the high will dip slightly to near 57°F. Winds will be light from the west, increasing to 6 to 11 mph by mid-morning. This is a good day for outdoor errands or a walk, but layering is recommended as the breeze might make it feel cooler.
Monday night will be colder, with temperatures falling to about 35°F. Areas of frost are expected after 3 a.m., so gardeners should cover vulnerable plants or bring potted plants indoors. Winds will be light and become calm by evening, which often leads to stronger frost formation due to less air mixing.
Tuesday and Tuesday Night: Frosty Start and Rain Chances
Early Tuesday morning will see frost again before 7 a.m., so prepare for another chilly start. The day will warm up to near 59°F with sunny skies. Winds will be calm in the morning but pick up from the northwest at 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon, bringing a fresh feel to the air.
Tuesday night introduces a chance of showers after 2 a.m., with mostly cloudy skies and a low around 42°F. The chance of precipitation is 50%, so keep an umbrella handy if you’re out late or early.
Midweek Showers: Wednesday and Thursday
Wednesday will be the wettest day of the week, with showers expected mainly after 8 a.m. The high temperature will reach near 62°F, but the 90% chance of precipitation means you should plan indoor activities or carry rain gear. The rain will continue into Wednesday night, with lows around 46°F and the same high chance of showers.
Thursday will still see showers likely, though the chance drops to 70%. The high will be near 61°F under mostly cloudy skies. Thursday night will remain mostly cloudy with a low near 45°F, signaling a break from frost but cooler, damp conditions.
Weekend Outlook: Warmer and Partly Sunny
The weekend looks more inviting with partly sunny skies returning. Friday will warm up to near 67°F, a noticeable jump from earlier in the week. Friday night will be mostly cloudy with lows around 47°F, so it will stay mild overnight.
Saturday continues the trend with partly sunny weather and a high near 72°F. This warmer day is perfect for outdoor plans, gardening, or simply enjoying the fresh air after a week of mixed weather.
Tips to Stay Comfortable and Prepared This Week
Dress in layers to adjust easily from cool mornings and evenings to mild afternoons.
Protect sensitive plants from frost by covering them or moving potted plants indoors on Monday and Tuesday nights.
Carry rain gear midweek, especially Wednesday and Thursday, to stay dry during showers.
Secure outdoor items that could be affected by gusty winds today.
Plan outdoor activities for the weekend when the weather will be warmer and mostly dry.
