Today’s Weather Forecast
Today, we’re in for a treat with a forecast calling for partly sunny skies. Expect to see some warm temperatures reaching around 76°F. Remember, a light breeze will be blowing in from the west-southwest at about 5 to 10 mph, which should keep things feeling comfortable. Just a heads up, there’s just a 20% chance of rain, so while you probably don’t need your umbrella, it might not hurt to have it handy if you’re headed out and about.
As evening rolls around, temperatures are expected to dip down to a cozy 64°F under partly cloudy skies. The winds will be gentle and variable, making it a great night for a stroll or a cozy night in.
