The blossoms are peaking....how's the weather looking?
Jason Samenow @ 7:51 AM
The good news is that the weekend is going to be dry. The bad news is that we have to get through today first.We'll have some showers to start off the day, which should taper off by mid morning. After that, expect slow clearing, and with a northeasterly wind, cool temperatures. Highs will be around 60, with the sun possibly making a brief appearance late in the day.
High pressure builds in from the north on Saturday, which will allow for more sunshine than today. I still expect some puffy cumulus clouds around-- but those should make a nice backdrop for some cherry blossom photography. The Cherry Blossom parade starts at 10am, and the 44th Annual Sakura Matsuri - Japanese Street Festival runs from 11am-6pm. With a persistent northeasterly breeze, the air will be fresh and a little cool, but not uncomfortable with the high near 60.
Pretty much the same deal for Sunday, although it will be about five degrees warmer -- with the high near 65.
