The weekend starts a stretch of up and down temperatures

After a chilly start Saturday, temperatures slowly warm back to around 70 degrees with increasing clouds.

Clouds increase Saturday with a few coastal showers

Keep the jacket handy Saturday as the clouds will help it to still feel cool, even though it will be warmer from a thermometer perspective. A few showers will be possible along the coast.
