We've reached the final Wednesday of September and things are going to warm up around here. This means it should be a great day to enjoy a pocket park during your lunch break.

Today's forecast calls for highs ranging from the mid-70s inland to the upper 60 by the lake, with beautiful rays of sunlight slicing through some billowy clouds and light winds blowing from southeast by the afternoon. It's all part of a slow warming trend that could see us enjoying 80-degree temps by the weekend.

Expect the clouds to thicken overnight with lows ranging from the mid-50s inland to the upper 40s by the lake. That's blanket weather.
