A somewhat subjective assessment of the time of day, on a scale of 0 to 10.

7/10: Considerable clouds and cool side, but also mostly dry and quite comfortable. Better than the 90’s, right?

  • Tonight: Cloudy, occasional light showers / showers. Minimum: higher than 50 close to 60.
  • Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy, with a chance of showers. Highs: Low in the mid-70s.

A lot of clouds today and tomorrow, but not much rain, although light rain is sometimes possible. Friday has a good chance of showers and thunderstorms, but will the holiday weekend clear up? The models have been going back and forth, although the latest trend is towards a drier and brighter forecast with temperatures warming up to the 1980s.
