Saturday’s weather isn’t expected to be as dramatic as Friday’s. Still, it’ll remain cloudy and breezy with rain showers scattered throughout. Wind gusts will dip to around 25, and the high temperature should reach around 69, but the wind will likely make it feel cooler than that. So, consider layering up for Saturday’s adventures!
