While Sunday will not be 'as' warm, temperatures with mostly sunny skies are expected to continue to be well above the average high, which falls to 76 degrees. A wind shift to the east will help to keep temperatures lower by a few degrees.
As usual for this time of the year, a decent sea breeze can be expected at the shore, especially along the southeast coast.
Dry weather is expected to continue with plenty of sunshine well into next week.
