Thursday starts sunny and quiet, with temperatures in the mid-60s early and a light north wind around 5 mph. It feels a little milder than the thermometer shows at daybreak, closer to 68, but the air stays comfortable as the morning gets going.

By afternoon, the sun stays in control and the day warms up nicely without yesterday’s edge. Expect a high of 85 with lower humidity, a light north wind near 7 mph and gusts up to 17 mph. Rain chances are just 2%, so it looks like a dry stretch from lunch through late day.

Thursday evening stays pleasant with clear skies and light winds, making it a good time to be outside. After sunset, temperatures ease back through the 70s, and the calm setup carries into the overnight hours. By early Friday, the low will settle near 61 under clear skies.

Allergy levels may be a problem for some people Thursday. Ragweed is very high, grass is high, while mold and tree pollen are low.

Friday looks a lot like a solid follow-up: mostly sunny with a high of 84 and a low of 61. It should stay dry with light winds and a comfortable finish to the day.
