Highs: 65 to 70.
Tonight: Partly cloudy. Lows: 49 to 56.
Tomorrow: Partly cloudy. Highs: 70 to 75. Forecast in detail Strong high pressure is responsible for our crisp morning, but it will also lead to a lovely day with below-normal temperatures coinciding with lots of sunshine and gentle winds. The high-pressure zone starts to shift away slowly to make way for more clouds tomorrow and then shower chances by Saturday into Saturday night. As the high-pressure area moves off, winds from the south should help us warm into the mid- to upper 70s this weekend into Monday, but no major early-season summer-level heat is seen yet, so we can still enjoy our spring!
Today (Thursday): This is a super nice, sunny day as high temperatures only reach the comfortable mid- to upper 60s (a few spots could touch 70) with the humidity very low. Dew points are only in the 30s for most of the day (you may want to water your May flowers and gardens). Light breezes blow mainly from the northeast at 5 to 10 mph, shifting to come from the southeast late when a few clouds could show. Confidence: High

A look ahead
Saturday offers mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers with even a thunderstorm possible as a frontal system approaches the area. Recent trends have been drier for this event, so most areas should stay dry most of the day with mainly just light rainfall totals. Showers are also possible Saturday night with cloudy skies as lows dip into the 50s to around 60. Confidence: Medium

Sunday returns us to sunny skies with warming temperatures as highs range from the mid- to upper 70s (some spots could touch 80). Humidity remains relatively low (dew points still in the comfortably dry 40s). Sunday night looks mostly clear with lows in the 50s to around 60. Confidence: Medium-High
Monday should feature mostly sunny skies, especially in the morning, as highs hit the upper 70s to around 80. Some clouds may show up by the afternoon, but no rain risks are noted until very late next week as temperatures shift back to cooler-than-normal levels after Monday. Confidence: Medium
