The warm and dry pattern will continue all weekend long. Highs will be in the upper 80's, with lows in the lower 60's.
Today & Tonight: After another cool morning start in the 50's, temperatures will rapidly increase in the afternoon. Expect highs to top out in the upper 80's. The record high for today is 89 degrees set on three different occasions. Skies will remain completely sunny, with no chance of rain forecasted. Overnight, lows will be in the lower 60's, with patchy fog possible in the early morning hours.
Up Next: The general trend over the next 7 days will be a slow increase in moisture. Through the weekend, this will mean a slight uptick in morning lows, and the potential for fog. Moisture will stay too low for rain, and temperatures will stay in the upper 80's. By the middle and end of next week, moisture will get high enough for some slight rain chances to return. This increase in moisture will increase lows even more, and also cause some mugginess in the air. The early outlook for Halloween calls for a warm day, with a slight chance of showers.
Away Football Games: Both Capital Area teams will be hitting the road this weekend for two highly anticipated match-ups.

Thermometers will end up in the 70s by the end of the game. Fans heading to Florida or Texas this weekend will not need to pack any raingear but don't forget the sunglasses!
