Monday looks to be partly cloudy and mild with highs in the low 70s and lows in the upper 40s.

Thereafter the rest of the week looks to be heating up under partly to mostly sunny skies with max temps starting out around 85 on Tuesday warming up to around 90
by the weekend. Lows look to be in the mid-upper 50s to start the week to the upper 60s by the weekend. If we hit 90 that will be the first of the season.
