Another mainly sunny day with temperatures pushing the 80s. Despite more clouds arriving Wednesday, it is still very warm. Cooler, fall air returns Thursday.

We begin the day with temperatures in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Plenty of sunshine today with a few high clouds later today. Near record warmth is possible as highs climb to the low 80s this afternoon. The record is 83° set back in 1947.

Tonight, skies are mostly clear with lows still milder than average in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

It’s another sunny start Wednesday. However, as a cold front approaches, we’ll see more clouds moving across the valley. Temperatures are still very mild in the upper 70s. The front slides through overnight with nothing more than a sprinkle or a brief shower but the chances are very low. Thursday, the winds kick up in the wake of the front out of the north-northwest 10 to 20 MPH. Skies are partly to mostly sunny with highs returning to the low 60s.

The next front is early Saturday. There may be a few showers in the morning, but the rest of the weekend is dry with temperatures in the mid 60s Saturday, then dropping to near 60 on Sunday.

After a cool start to the week, it looks like another warmup back to the 70s by mid-week.

Make it a great day!
