Friday was partly cloudy and cooler with early AM lows in the low 40s rising only up into the mid 50s in the mid afternoon. Winds persisted out of the NW a good part of the day.

Partly Cloudy, cool, dry conditions should persist through Tuesday with highs in the 50s Friday and lows in the low 40s, rising gradually through the 60s for highs and through the 40s for lows to the low 70s and low 50s on Tuesday. Cooling showers should visit us on Wednesday, nothing really heavy as it looks now then cooling some more again thereafter to complete the week.
