The city's beaches open tomorrow—um, finally—and despite less-than-sweltering temps this week, things should be heating up by Sunday, when highs will be in the 80s. Heyo! That'll make it the warmest day so far this year. Keep weekend barbecue plans flexible, though; thunderstorms Monday could ruin your burger-making endeavors. [Trib, TWC, NWS]
