With a high volume of events across the region, this is a strong weekend to get out and explore.
Saturday is the standout window for outdoor plans with overcast skies and a pleasant high of 83 degrees. Expect light drizzle on Friday and Sunday as temperatures hover around a comfortable 78 degree average.
