Resident Teniya Burch, who ate outside Friday night, said she won't be doing the same then.
"No. This is just today, that's it," said Burch.
It's another obstacle restaurants will have to overcome.

Nick Elmi, owner of Royal Boucherie, invited people to his shady second-floor garden or out on 2nd Street.
"We're resilient," said Elmi. "We're going to keep rolling with the punches and are going to do what we can do to survive."
But after the big rain last Friday, and heat coming, Elmi said it's time for indoor dining.
In Pennsylvania, this week, Gov. Wolf has allowed restaurants to open indoor dining with 25 percent; however, Philadelphia remains in a modified green phase where inside dining is prohibited.

"When you have packed flights, open casinos and now gyms opening, but for some reason, we can't operate at 25 percent capacity in Philadelphia, It's kind of a tough pill to swallow," Elmi said.
Just about every area county, including Camden County, has issued heat advisories.
Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez said she's especially concerned for senior citizens already at risk with COVID-19.
"I strongly recommend everybody in the community to please reach out to our elderly," said Rodriguez.
She also advised everyone to stay home if possible. But if you do go out, try a community pool or sprinkler.
Rodriguez added to not forget about the pets.
"Sometimes people will leave their animals outside and not realize they sweat, and can suffer from heatstroke," Rodriguez said.
