Tomorrow’s weather looks like the perfect excuse for some outdoor fun. For those wanting to enjoy nature or catch up with friends, Sunday promises to deliver clear skies.

Tonight, temperatures are forecasted to drop, with lows hovering between the upper 50s to mid-60s. While the evening might bring about light breezes, clouds will be few and far between.
