Chilly start before warm and sunny afternoon Friday; weekend heats up before start of fall

A chill is in the air early this morning as we start our Friday with widespread 40s away from the city centers.

The morning chill won't linger as plenty of sunshine will lead to a perfectly pleasant afternoon.

Temperatures will range from 78 to 82 degrees so it will be a bit warmer than Thursday.

Making weekend plans? That summer feel is back for the last official weekend of summer. Too bad the pools have closed for the season! We will be close to 90 on Saturday and Sunday as the dry weather continues.
