Cooler today, warmer around the beginning of the week

 

MUCH COOLER TODAY, as the cold front has passed north to south, leaving us with highs in the mid to upper 40's this afternoon. Breezy at times with some mild wind gusts. Not much for cloud cover on satellite view, so mostly sunny skies today and clear overnight.

*FIRE: Relative Humidity values are still low, but with calmer winds today, any fires that start won't have the strong winds to help spread them.

Warmer temps return Sunday, with a warming trend building through Tuesday.
