The high will be 54°F (12°C), and temperatures will drop to 39°F (4°C) by nightfall. If you’re heading out, be sure to carry an umbrella as the showers could appear unexpectedly. It’s not the ideal day for outdoor sightseeing, but if you’ve got indoor plans, it’s a perfect opportunity to check out the city’s museums or catch up on your reading.
Wednesday, February 26: Partly Sunny and Mild
Wednesday will offer a welcome break from the rain. Expect partly sunny skies with mild temperatures. The high will be 54°F (12°C) and the low will be around 41°F (5°C). It’ll be another good day to get outside and enjoy the mild weather, although a light jacket or sweater will be necessary as the temperatures dip in the evening.

Thursday, February 27: Cloudy with Light Showers
Thursday brings a cloudy forecast with the possibility of light rain. Temperatures will hover around 56°F (14°C) during the day and drop to 36°F (2°C) overnight. You’ll want to keep that umbrella handy again, as brief showers are expected throughout the day. If you have any plans to be outside, make sure to dress in layers to stay comfortable. The rain won’t be heavy, but it could make for a damp afternoon, so take it easy if you’re planning a walk.
Friday, February 28: Sunny but Cooler
By Friday, the sun will be back out, but temperatures will drop a bit. Expect mostly sunny skies with a high of 46°F (8°C) and a chilly low of 29°F (-1°C). It’s going to be a crisp day, so bundle up before heading out, especially if you plan on spending the evening outside. It will be a great day to enjoy the sunshine while you can, but make sure you have a warm jacket for the cooler temperatures in the morning and night.
Saturday, March 1: Mostly Cloudy and Cool
Saturday’s weather will be a bit cooler, with mostly cloudy skies. The high will be 43°F (6°C) during the day, and the low will drop to 33°F (0°C) at night. While not as cold as earlier in the week, it’s still a good idea to dress in layers and bring a jacket if you’re going out. The cloudy skies could put a damper on outdoor plans, but it’s still a good day to explore some of the city’s indoor spots, like art galleries or cozy coffee shops.
Sunday, March 2: Sunny and Chilly
Sunday ends the week with mostly sunny skies, but it will remain chilly. The high will reach 41°F (5°C) and the low will dip to 24°F (-4°C).

A great day to spend time outdoors enjoying the sunshine, but make sure to bundle up, especially in the early morning and evening.
