1. The National Weather Service forecast for this afternoon calls for mostly cloudy skies with a high near 64 degrees with a chance of drizzle after 10 p.m. and an overnight low around 51 degrees. Forecasters expect mostly sunny skies Saturday with a high near 62 degrees. There's a 20 percent chance of showers Saturday night and rain is likely Sunday.
