“We end our work week with near-perfect weather. It’s a chilly start to the day with temperatures in the 50s, and we warm up to the mid-80s under sunny skies. It will be another day with a light northeasterly dry wind around 5 mph. Because of the calm winds, there may be some ozone pollution issues that develop late in the afternoon. Friday night will feel tremendous. For those of you going to Friday football games, temperatures start in the 70s and fall to the 60s late.”
