This fog is expected to clear, giving way to partly cloudy skies later in the day. So don’t forget to grab those sunglasses if you head out!

A Beautifully Warm Day Ahead

Temperatures are gearing up to be quite pleasant today, with a high of 81°F anticipated. That’s definitely warmer than we have seen recently as we transition into fall. So whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or just enjoying some time outside, today is one of those days when you can comfortably wear short sleeves or your favorite light sweater!

As the temperature rises, winds will be light and variable, making it a perfect day to enjoy the outdoors without that pesky chill in the air. Grab the family, kick back in the park, or take a stroll through the neighborhood—all while soaking up some lovely sunshine.

If you have plans to be out and about, perhaps for a dinner or a walk under the stars, a light jacket might be a good idea. The skies should remain partly cloudy, giving a perfect autumn feel to the night. Just imagine—enjoying the crisp evening air while appreciating the beautiful shades of fall all around!
