Very Nice. That is the two word answer to the musical question, "what's the weather for the weekend going to be; will it be hot, cold, rain, snow..." (that was a famous radio weather jiggle in the 1950s). I can't say our weekend weather will be perfect or the best ever, but compared to the May Gray pattern we have come to expect, this is super duper. I am predicting that there will be night and morning coastal marine clouds at the shore to not clear until 9 AM or so. And I am predicting slightly windy weather in the mountains. So this weekend comes in with a B+ instead of an A. (I hear they don't give letter grades anymore in sheer fear of hurting somebody's feelings; is that true?)
Next week looks nice with warmer than normal temperatures (by a few degrees) and lots and lots of sunshine despite the night and morning low coastal marine clouds.
Life is good...very good.
