Wednesday was partly sunny and even warmer than Tuesday with lows in the mid 60s and highs in the mid 80s reached by mid-afternoon. Now that was the warmest temperature I have had this spring, and the hottest since 87.5 was reached back on September 3, 2020. Moderate, very warm winds out of the SW and W predominated through most of the day.

Clouds should predominate on Thursday with probable showers but still warm with highs in the lower-mid 80s, lows dropping into the 50s late.

Breezy and cooler Friday with highs in the 60s. Partly sunny conditions both on Friday and Saturday with winds lessening on Saturday with highs in the 60s, lows in the low-mid 40s.

On Sunday partly cloudy and warm, highs in the low 80s with lows around 60. Showers on Monday with highs around 80, then partly sunny and warm once again on Tuesday with highs around 85. Lows should hold mostly in the 50s to lower 60s. Relatively light winds, mostly out of the SW.
