The weather Tuesday was perhaps the most delightful, with afternoon highs in the low 70s. Ideal?
Warming begins today, with highs back in the 80s and maybe 90s Friday and Saturday. Of course, the kids are back in school. Good timing, huh? The rising temperatures are thanks, in part, to an offshore flow and east to northeast winds. Extremely low humidity will accompany the warming, making fire danger very high, so be careful when out camping or hiking. We usually see a few outbreaks of easterly winds in September that really dry things out and raise high temperatures. It will even be warm at the coast.
The good news is that it should cool off by the early morning hours. The other day, many outlying areas reported lows in the mid-40s. That’s cold enough to see your breath. It won’t be that chilly the next few days, however.
Forecast models show a cooler system arriving late Sunday and maybe a few light showers, but we will return to warm weather by Wednesday. There could even be a dusting of snow in the high mountain peaks. But overall, the next 10 days look dry.
