Friday & the weekend: Quiet and turning warmer

We’ve got a nice stretch of weather ahead for Friday and the weekend as high pressure rules the meteorological roost for a few days. Friday will start on a chilly note with lows in the low 40s feeling closer to the mid-30s thanks to elevated winds persisting through the morning. Temperatures Friday only top out in the mid-60s despite full sunshine owing the cooler and drier air continuing to push into the area.
The cool air advection shuts off on Saturday, though, and temperatures respond quite nicely to kick off one of the better weather weekends in a while. After another low-40s start, expect highs to peak right in the mid-70s in the afternoon with unfettered sunshine. And if you like Saturday, Sunday starts a touch warmer but ends up pretty much in the same place in the afternoon with highs in the mid-70s. Really, the only fly in the ointment is all the pollen — but such is life in March.
