Thursday was a cloudy day with a few sprinkles as we finished up this afternoon. We gradually see clearer skies heading into tomorrow. Expect a partly cloudy night with breezy conditions as winds pick up to 10–20 mph. Friday marks a beautiful start to May, featuring ample sunshine and pleasant highs in the low 60s, though clouds will increase by evening, bringing the possibility of a stray shower overnight.

The weekend turns slightly cooler and more unsettled. Saturday will be mostly cloudy with highs in the 50s and a stray shower expected, while Sunday starts off cloudy with a passing shower possible before the sun returns in the afternoon. Highs on Sunday will remain slightly below average, hovering near 60.
