Thursday starts sunny and quiet, with temperatures around 60 early and a light southeast breeze. It should be a smooth start for the morning commute, and while it may feel like 62, most of the day stays close to the actual reading. As the morning moves along, skies turn partly sunny and the south wind picks up.
By afternoon, the Riverbend warms up fast. Expect a high near 83 with a breezy south wind around 15 mph and gusts up to 33 mph. Rain chances stay low through the daylight hours, so most of the day looks dry and very warm for late April. If you deal with seasonal allergies, tree pollen is the big issue Thursday, with a very high allergy index for tree pollen and low levels for grass and mold.
