Starting off our day, the forecast looks incredibly inviting. At 6:00 AM, we kicked things off at a cool 54°F (12°C), with mostly clear skies. By 8 AM, temperatures had nudged up to 56°F (13°C), and we caught a glimpse of intermittent clouds beautifying the morning canvas. Fast forward to 9 AM, and we’re greeted with a partly sunny morning, reaching 59°F (15°C).
The real treat comes as we approach 10 AM with temperatures climbing to a lovely 63°F (17°C), and at 11 AM, we are all set to bask in the warmth with a pleasant 67°F (19°C). It’s the kind of weather that’s inviting everyone outdoors, whether it’s for a morning walk in the park or sipping coffee on the porch!

The temperature is projected to reach a delightful 70°F (21°C) by noon, continuing to rise to 72°F (22°C) by 1 PM. With mostly sunny skies, it’s the perfect opportunity to grab a bite at your favorite outdoor café or have that picnic you’ve been thinking of.
