The first weekend of spring promises to bring warm temperatures, clear skies and a slight breeze, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service.

"It’s going to be very pleasant," National Weather Service meteorologist Stefanie Sullivan said.

The valleys are expected to have highs in the low 80s with lows in the mid-40s, according to National Weather Service forecasts.

The deserts will be a bit cooler with highs in the mid-70s and lows in the mid-50s this weekend, according to National Weather Service forecasts.

The mountains are forecast to have highs in the mid-60s and lows in the 20s, according to the National Weather Service.

The valleys, deserts and mountains are expected to have winds from 5 to 10 mph today and Saturday, according to forecasts. On Saturday gusts are expected from 20 mph in the valleys to 35 mph in the mountains, according to the National Weather Service.

Sullivan said this month has been drier than normal so far, but the warm temperatures are on par with other years.

“Aside from the rainfall, it’s pretty average,” Sullivan said.
