Sunny Skies and a High of 79 for the Riverbend on Thursday

Clear skies greet the Riverbend on Thursday morning, with 57 degrees at 6:37 a.m. and a feels like temperature of 56. A south wind near 5 mph, gusting to 10 mph, adds a little movement to the morning commute. Sunrise arrives at 7:24 a.m., so early risers will start their day before daylight.

By afternoon, mostly sunny skies will help push the high to 79. West winds around 8 mph could gust to 14 mph, while the rain chance is just 6%. If lunch outside or a walk is on your wish list, the afternoon offers a good opening. A light layer for the morning should be easy to set aside later.

Allergy levels are low, with mold and ragweed the main allergens reported; grass and tree pollen register zero. Air quality is rated moderate, with particle pollution the primary concern.

Evening brings sunset at 6:04 p.m. Plan to wrap up daylight-dependent yardwork before then. Partly cloudy skies follow as winds turn east-northeast around 7 mph.

Overnight, the low settles at 57, with a 4% rain chance. Keep that light layer handy for an early Friday start.

Friday brings more clouds mixed with sunshine, a high of 74 and a low of 56. The daytime rain chance rises to 17%, followed by mostly cloudy skies at night.
