Blue skies and warm temperatures — that’s what you can expect if you’re headed outside today. But there’s a slight chance of rain during the long Labor Day weekend, starting Saturday night and lasting through Monday morning.

“We’ll have plenty of sunshine today and just a few high thin clouds,” said Jennifer Schack, 6News meteorologist.
