Put away your umbrellas and pull out your sun hat.

Warm, dry weather is on the way and this weekend is forecast to be especially gorgeous in San Francisco.

After a winter marked by ceaseless storms, many of us are ready to get outside and soak up the sun's rays, and above we offer up a bunch of ways to do just that around the city.

National Weather Service meteorologist Bob Benjamin says he sees dry weather ahead.

"We have a high pressure ridge moving in and will lead to a warming trend," Benjamin said Wednesday. "We're going to be going into a dry spell. There's no question about that."

Temperatures are expected to heat up Saturday and Sunday with highs in the upper-70s on the coast and in the lower-80s inland.

Some have proclaimed the ultra-damp season over, but meteorologists are quick to add caution.

"Yes, the amounts drop off significantly as we transition into late spring and summer, but climatologically it would be quite unusual not to have rain in May and June," said Jan Null of the Golden Gate Weather Service. "For example, the last time that San Francisco had zero rain for the months of May and June was in 1978!"

Still, things will cool again next week with the dry spell continuing into the foreseeable future.

"We're working our way out of the rainy time of the year," said Benjamin. "It's probably not totally impossible for us to get a frontal band coming through in May, but the likelihood is decreasing."
