Thursday starts mostly cloudy and mild, with temperatures in the mid-60s early and a light breeze. Skies should gradually break through the morning, setting up a brighter stretch by late morning as the day gets moving.
By afternoon, expect partly sunny skies and a warm climb to around 85 degrees. A south wind near 9 mph will keep the air moving, with gusts close to 20 mph at times. Rain is not expected during the day, and the forecast stays quiet for outdoor plans. It may feel closer to 89 during peak heating, so the warmest part of the day could feel a little hotter than the thermometer shows.
