Thursday’s forecast remains muggy and warm, with highs staying in the low‑80s. Scattered rain and storms are possible early in the day, especially mid‑afternoon or early evening, though the chance of precipitation will diminish as the sun sets.
Lunar Eclipse Preview
Clear skies are needed for a good view of the partial lunar eclipse that peaks around 12:12 a.m. Friday. Weather officials are watching for the clouds to clear quickly after Thursday night to give eclipse‑watchers a clear sightline.
Weekend Outlook
Friday is expected to be mostly dry, though a few outlying towns could see a brief pop‑up shower. The weekend will return to dry, warmer conditions with highs reaching the upper‑80s, providing a comfortable end to the week.
