Today:
Partly sunny and warmer with afternoon temperatures climbing into the upper 70s to lower 80s. A light breeze develops during the afternoon, helping keep conditions fairly pleasant despite the warmer air returning. Comfortable clothing is fine during the day, though commuters may still want a light layer early in the morning. UV levels will be elevated, so sunscreen is recommended if spending extended time outdoors.
Tonight:
Mostly cloudy with temperatures settling into the lower to mid 60s. Humidity slowly begins increasing overnight. Mild conditions continue for evening outdoor dining, walks, or events, though it may feel a bit stickier by daybreak Wednesday.
Wednesday:
Warmest day of the week. Morning clouds should give way to intervals of sunshine, allowing temperatures to surge into the mid to upper 80s across much of the city. Humidity will also increase, making it feel noticeably more summer-like during the afternoon. Dress in lightweight clothing and stay hydrated if outdoors for long periods. There is a slight chance for isolated showers or thunderstorms late in the afternoon into the evening as a cold front approaches. While many neighborhoods could stay dry, keep an umbrella nearby just in case, especially for the evening commute.
Wednesday Night:
Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of scattered showers or an isolated thunderstorm during the evening hours. Temperatures fall back into the mid 60s overnight as cooler, less humid air gradually moves in. Roads could briefly become slick where storms develop.
Thursday:
Mostly sunny and noticeably more comfortable with highs ranging from the mid to upper 70s. Humidity levels drop behind the cold front, making for excellent outdoor weather. A light jacket may be comfortable early in the morning, but the afternoon should feel refreshing and seasonable.
Friday:
Sunny and pleasant with highs in the low to mid 70s. Low humidity and light winds will make for one of the nicest days of the stretch. Great weather for outdoor plans, walking, or spending time in parks and along the waterfront.
Saturday:
Mostly sunny with highs in the lower 70s. A cooler breeze at times may make it feel slightly crisp near beaches and coastal areas. A light layer may be useful if spending extended time outdoors near the water.
Sunday:
Mostly sunny and seasonably mild with afternoon temperatures in the lower 70s. Excellent conditions for outdoor activities, though ocean water temperatures remain chilly for beachgoers.
Beach & Ocean Conditions:
There remains an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents at area beaches through at least Tuesday. Even experienced swimmers should use caution and swim only where lifeguards are present. Ocean water remains cold enough to create dangerous conditions if caught in rough surf.
