If you have plans to be outside Friday evening, the weather is setting up nicely. Skies will be sunny throughout the day with a high near 83, and by the time evening arrives the air will have turned noticeably crisp. Overnight lows will dip to around 59 degrees, so a light jacket becomes comfortable by the time night falls.
Rain chances are zero, and winds will be light. The strong high pressure system anchored to the northeast is keeping the airmass dry and stable. It is the kind of evening where the air feels refreshing rather than thick, a sharp change from the humid heat of the past week and a half.
