Overnight lows in the mid-60s give way to a warm, humid climb toward the low-to-mid 70s — numbers that sound comfortable until the elevated humidity makes the air feel closer and stickier than the thermometer suggests.For the morning commute, roads should be dry but a stray early shower is possible. Nothing severe, nothing organized — just enough to catch you off guard if you leave the umbrella at home. A light layer with a hood or a compact umbrella in the bag is the practical call before you head out.Through the afternoon, scattered shower chances tick upward as daytime heating builds atmospheric instability.

Whatever activity develops stays on the low-end, scattered side.Dress in breathable layers — light pants, a loose top, skip the heavy cotton. Bring the umbrella.
