Cool, cloudy start before a beautiful weekend and summer preview ahead
Expect a gray and cooler-than-average Friday across the state, with plenty of clouds and just a few breaks of sun here and there.
A couple of scattered showers will be possible through the day, but this is not a washout. Temperatures will stay on the cool side, with highs only reaching the lower 60s.
Saturday is , in Bob Maxon’s words, “simply amazing.”
Sunshine returns in full force, with highs climbing into the upper 70s inland — a noticeable warm-up from the week.
Sunday will be partly sunny after a possible morning shower, then turning quite warm with highs reaching into the 80s.
It’s a steady climb in temperatures, making for a great stretch of late-spring weather across the region.
The forecast points toward a much more summerlike pattern, with heat and humidity building next week.
High temperatures are expected to push well into the 80s and even approach 90 degrees in some spots inland.
