If you’re stepping outside today, you’ll notice that it’s not a typical spring day. Right now, the temperature is hanging out at a comfortable 56°F (13°C), but the good news is it’s going to warm up. Expect the mercury to rise to a pleasant 76°F (25°C) later this afternoon. The clouds will stick around for most of the day, giving us a bit of shade from the sun. So, it’s a great day to spend time outside without feeling the heat of the sun too much.
When evening rolls around, the temperature will dip to a low of 44°F (7°C), so you might want to grab a light jacket if you’re heading out in the evening or for a nighttime stroll.
