While some initial forecasts mentioned a slight possibility of rain on Sunday, subsequent updates confirmed clear, sunny, humid, and dry conditions for the day, with no rainfall expected, consistent with typical summer weather. Saturday also brought clear skies and characteristic summer conditions to the area.
