Here’s the big shift: Sunday brings a dramatic warm-up. Highs will jump to near 76°F with sunny skies and southerly winds 5 to 12 mph. This is when the real spring arrives. If you’ve been thinking about golf, Sunday is your day—those cooler temps Friday and Saturday mean the courses should be in great shape.

With the warm-up and increased moisture moving in early next week, the National Weather Service is tracking a developing weather system that could bring wetter conditions. If pollen counts spike with the warming trend—and they often do in May—consider grabbing an allergy relief nasal spray or a pollen count face mask to stay comfortable during outdoor activities.
