Through the day highs return to the upper 70s, with a clear comfortable evening in store. Heading into the weekend, the forecast is looking great. Saturday and Sunday both bring a mix of sun and clouds with highs climbing into the mid-80s. If you’ve got outdoor plans, you’re good to go, just be ready for it to feel more like early summer.
