Thursday starts with mostly sunny skies and temperatures near 69 degrees, making for a comfortable early stretch across the Riverbend. A light west-northwest breeze around 3 mph is already in place, and the air feels close to the actual temperature.
By afternoon, clouds will mix in with the sunshine as the day stays less humid and fairly easygoing. Look for a high of 76 with northwest winds around 9 mph and gusts up to 18 mph. Rain is not expected during the day, even though there is a small overall chance a brief spotty shower could develop somewhere in the region.

Thursday evening stays partly cloudy and calm, with temperatures easing back through the upper 60s. Winds back off nicely after sunset, so it should be a good setup for a walk, a ballgame or just sitting outside without much weather trouble.
Overnight, the low drops to 60 under partly cloudy skies. There is a 55% chance of a passing light shower late tonight, but this does not look like an all-night rain. If you are out late or up early Friday, it would not hurt to keep an umbrella nearby.

Friday looks warmer and brighter, with a high of 83 and a low of 66. Expect a mostly sunny, pleasant day with very little chance of rain.
