Today's Weather: It's Getting Hot In Here

By Selena Fragassi in News on May 3, 2015 3:00PM


So take off some of those clothes and shed that extra layer because we are finally getting out of sweater weather. Today's high is going to be 80 degrees. We repeat: 80 degrees. By mid-afternoon it will feel like mid-June with winds picking up to give a nice breeze, too.

Sun should be abundant today with only broken clouds, so a perfect day to enjoy all those outdoor activities. If you need a reminder of what those are, let us suggest a barbecue, beach day and day drinking at one of our favorite outdoor bars.

Showers head into the area tomorrow but looks like these temps are with us for the long haul this week. Everyone do a happy dance!
