Major League Action and High Energy Sets
The regional thermometer is set to hover around 90 degrees this weekend, making indoor venues or stadium seats the place to be. While drizzle may mark the start of your Friday, the schedule is packed with top-tier talent from Nate Bargatze to the New York Yankees. This weekend holds a great balance of high-signal entertainment despite the humid forecast.
Expect consistent heat with highs reaching 90 degrees all weekend and lows in the upper 60s. Friday and Saturday carry a significant risk of drizzle and thunderstorms, making Sunday late afternoon the best window for being outside.
