Partly Cloudy, Warm; Great Weekend Weather

Southerly winds and a few clouds helped keep temperatures in the lower 50s overnight. Today is shaping up to be somewhat similar to yesterday in that low clouds may be around for much of the morning before afternoon sunshine dominates. There will be more sunshine at times this morning than compared to yesterday so that should allow for slightly warmer temperatures. In fact, I'll forecast a high of 76 today. Low cloud cover looks to increase again this evening so expect another warm evening. Given that we seem to be warmer at night than guidance suggests with clouds and winds, I'll forecast a low of 57 tomorrow morning.

The weekend is shaping up to be quite nice so get outside and enjoy the weather if you can. Saturday will feature morning clouds and afternoon sun with highs in the upper 70s. There may be a few more clouds throughout the day on Sunday, but I still feel that temperatures will be in the mid 70s. A weak disturbance will be passing to our northwest by this time, and the chance of a shower can't completely be ruled out Sunday afternoon. It's possible the air conditioner might be turned on for the first time of the year this weekend!

***Remember to set your clocks forward by 1 hour before you go to sleep Saturday night to account for Daylight Saving Time. That's right, you'll lose an hour of sleep this time!***
