Through at least Wednesday, temperatures will climb above our normal high of 80-degrees before another cold front arrives by next Thursday, bringing the chance for more rain.
Before the heat builds in, Thursday will be a cool and breezy day. A cold front brought a few showers overnight, but the front has now moved out of the area, leaving behind highs in the low 70s, breezy northwest winds but plenty of sunshine!
As winds calm down overnight, temperatures will fall quickly, setting up for a chilly Friday morning in the 40s.
Friday afternoon will technically be cooler than average with highs in the upper 70s, but it will be a lovely day to get outside and round out the work and school week.
By Saturday our temperatures are climbing quickly into the 80s before the 90s return Sunday and stick around into early next week.
