March 27, 2025

🌤️ Thursday’s Weather

Thursday’s looking like a textbook spring tease—mostly sunny skies and flirting with a record high of 78º by mid-afternoon. Winds stay mellow most of the day, picking up slightly from the southwest around 10 mph, but nothing too gusty. Dry air continues to hover, keeping humidity low at 18%, so don’t skip the moisturizer or the water bottle.

By evening, skies stay mostly clear with a comfortable low around 53º. Light WSW breezes should keep things calm overnight. Another great day to bike, hike, or post up on a sunny patio before things cool down for the weekend.
