Your Weekend Weather Forecast: Sun, Showers, and Mild Temperatures Ahead

As the weekend approaches, many are planning outdoor activities, errands, or simply looking forward to some relaxation. Knowing what to expect from the weather can help you make the most of your time. This weekend brings a mix of sun, clouds, and occasional showers, with temperatures staying mild. Here’s a detailed look at what the next few days hold so you can prepare accordingly.

Friday: Mostly Cloudy Turning Sunny

Friday starts off mostly cloudy, but as the day progresses, the clouds will gradually clear, giving way to sunshine. Expect a high near 60 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a comfortable day to be outside once the sun comes out. The wind will be light from the north, so it won’t feel too chilly.

Evening brings partly cloudy skies with temperatures dropping to around 38 degrees. Winds will calm down and then shift to the east at 5 to 7 mph after midnight. This means a cool but calm night, ideal for a peaceful sleep or a quiet evening walk.

Saturday: Chance of Showers and Cooler Temperatures

Saturday will be a bit more unsettled. There is a 50% chance of showers, mainly during the day, with mostly cloudy skies. The high temperature will be near 53 degrees, a bit cooler than Friday. Winds will come from the southeast at about 8 mph, which might bring a slight chill.

New precipitation amounts could range between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, so carrying an umbrella or rain jacket is a good idea if you plan to be outdoors. The showers may taper off before 2 a.m. Saturday night, but there remains a 30% chance of light rain with less than a tenth of an inch expected. The low will hover around 39 degrees, and winds will calm by evening.

Sunday: Mostly Sunny and Warmer

Sunday offers a welcome break from the rain with mostly sunny skies and a high near 62 degrees. The calm wind will shift to the east around 6 mph in the afternoon, creating pleasant conditions for outdoor activities like hiking, gardening, or a picnic.

Sunday night will be partly cloudy with a low around 40 degrees, so it will be cool but not too cold. This is a good night for stargazing if the clouds stay minimal.

Monday night will be partly cloudy with a low around 45 degrees, slightly warmer than previous nights.

Tuesday brings a chance of showers again, with partly sunny skies and a high near 66 degrees. The chance of precipitation is 50%, so expect some intermittent rain.
