Tuesday starts sunny and quiet, with temperatures in the mid-60s early and a light breeze. It is a comfortable start, though it already feels a bit warmer than the thermometer shows.

By afternoon, hazy sunshine takes over and the temperature climbs to a high near 88. Rain chances stay close to zero, and winds remain light out of the south to southeast at around 3 to 5 mph, with a few gusts near 10 mph. The hotter part of the day will feel closer to 101, so it may be a good idea to take breaks if you will be outside for long.
