The Bottom Line

Weekend weather forecast includes fog and sunshine with temperatures dropping slightly from recent warmth.

AI Summary

High pressure will keep most areas dry through the weekend, though temperatures will decline slightly from the week's record warmth. After experiencing the warmest weather of the year, regions can expect a mix of fog and sunshine, according to meteorologist Ben Rich's forecast. The shift marks a return to more typical seasonal conditions, though many places will avoid significant precipitation. Fog is likely to develop in early morning hours before clearing to partial sunshine as high pressure remains anchored over the region. The drier pattern should continue into early next week as the high-pressure system persists.
