Another beautiful weekend lies ahead as dry high pressure remains in control at the surface. The warming trend that really started to show itself on Friday continues into the weekend. We start Saturday in the low 40s across much of the metro area, with upper 30s further inland and lows near 50° toward the coast. Temperatures will then head into the low 70s in the afternoon under mostly sunny skies.

Don’t forget to set your clocks requiring manual intervention an hour back before you head to bed Saturday night as Daylight Saving Time ends at 2am Sunday. We’ll see temperatures in the mid-to-upper 40s as the sun comes up around 6:40 am, warming nicely into the mid-70s by afternoon. We’ll see a few more clouds as a trough swings through aloft, but the deep-layer dry air closer to the surface will keep us rain-free. The sun will set Sunday evening around 5:30, and it’ll be February 10 before we see another 6PM or later sunset. (Alas.)

Overall, though, it will be a great weekend to get back out and about. Remember how we couldn’t get a dry weekend to save our lives to start 2023? Seems like a distant memory with the great weekends we’ve had as of late — try to take advantage!
