As high pressure parks itself just off the MidAtlantic coastline, we'll be locked into a pleasant weather pattern with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s through Friday. The holiday weekend should bring similar weather, with only minimal rain chances.
Today
Fantastic. Mostly sunny. Low humidity. Light winds. Highs near 80. Tonight, under mostly clear skies, temperatures will drop quickly through the 70s as the sun goes down, into the 60s by late evening, and down to overnight lows in the mid-to-upper 50s.
Tomorrow
Fantastic again. Mostly sunny. Low humidity. Light winds. Highs in the low 80s. Overnight, clear skies with lows near 60.
Friday
Slightly warmer. Partly to mostly sunny. A touch of humidity. Light winds. Highs in the mid 80s. Overnight, partly to mostly clear with lows in the low-to-mid 60s.
Memorial Day Weekend
Bring on the beach. It's not unusual for Memorial Day Weekend around these parts to be ruined by clouds, rain and cool temperatures. While this year's edition may not be perfect, it should be more than adequate for most outdoor activities. Expect Saturday, Sunday and Monday to be partly sunny with highs in the 80s, a touch of humidity, and a slight chance of an afternoon or evening shower or thunderstorm. Saturday night and Sunday night should be partly cloudy with a slight chance of a shower or t'storm and lows in the 60s.
