Weather Insights and Predictions
Chilly Night Ahead
The chill in the air is set to continue throughout the night. Cloud cover will gradually build, creating a somewhat overcast sky. This will act as a buffer against the cold, preventing temperatures from dropping too low. Despite the lack of extreme cold, it's still advisable to bundle up and stay warm.
Even though a stray shower might pop up, it's not expected to be a widespread event. These showers are more likely to be isolated and short-lived. However, it's always a good idea to be prepared and have an umbrella handy just in case.
Sunday's Warm Up
