Latest Forecast

Sunny and warmer Friday

High pressure system shifts offshore, and our winds begin to turn in from the east and south. That’s what helps kick off the warm-up. 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.
