Sunny and warm as we approach the weekend

Temperatures have continued to warm today back into the lower 90s. We are exactly where we should be for this time of year! Day time highs climbed to 94 degrees Thursday, which is seasonal. Expect the same Friday.

Clear skies made for a beautiful Villagefest & Concerts in the Park evening.

Even though our winds have backed down compared to the beginning of the workweek, we still remain under an Air Quality Alert at least through 6 AM Friday. This may be extended into the weekend as winds turn a bit gustier Saturday.

Looking at the weekend, we are tracking an increase in our winds. This will help to temporarily lower our temperatures back down into the 80s. Expect an increase in cloud cover heading into the weekend. There will also be a very small chance of some precipitation for our friends west of the mountains. Any accumulation would be extremely minimal.

Friday will be pretty similar to today with the exception of some extra clouds and some slightly increased winds in the evening.

This weekend will be cooler and breezy to gusty at times (especially in the wind-prone areas like the freeway).

Get ready for a warm-up next week as highs return to the triple digits as early as Tuesday through Thursday.
