It will be a very warm Bridge Run weekend as deep-layered high pressure atop the Southeast, in a configuration more reminiscent of summer, hangs around for a few more days. We’re working on a record warm low temperature for Thursday — the low so far of 70° would blow past the previous record of 67° set in 2012 — with maybe a couple more to fall before the weekend is out.

Lows on Friday should only bottom out around 70°, which would tie the record warm low temperature last set in 1970. Highs would then soar to the upper 80s in the afternoon before the seabreeze moves through and cuts temperatures down a bit. Partly cloudy skies will be the general rule, while we stay breezy during the day owing to the pressure gradient between high pressure to the east and the stalled storm system to the west.
