Morning Sunshine to Afternoon Clouds
This morning started off bright and inviting, with mostly sunny skies making it a great time for a walk or maybe a cup of coffee on the porch. But don’t get too comfortable, as things are about to change! As we tick toward the afternoon, expect those sunny skies to become more of a patchwork quilt with increasing cloud cover. A warm front is moving in from the south, contributing to that thick layer of humidity in the air.
Humidity Levels and Wind Speed
Speaking of humidity, it’s sitting at a hefty 78% today. That does mean it’s feeling quite muggy out there, so if you’re stepping outside, keep that in mind! In addition, there’s a gentle breeze blowing from the southeast at around 10 mph, with gusts reaching up to 15 mph. It’s not exactly a high wind advisory, but you might feel those little gusts take the edge off the humidity if you’re lucky!

UV Index and Air Quality
Don’t forget about your sunscreen if you’re out in the sun’s rays! The UV index sits at a moderate 6 today. While that’s not the highest, it’s always smart to protect your skin whenever possible. On a brighter note, the Air Quality Index is reported to be good, so breathe easy and enjoy the great outdoors—just watch where you step because pollen counts are moderate, especially with increased levels of ragweed pollen.
