Tomorrow is shaping up to be a warm day with temperatures hitting the low 70s, which is definitely above normal for this time of year. The reason for the warmth is the northwesterly winds bringing some dry air over our area. These downslope winds will really help to heat things up, so you can expect a pleasant, sunny day ahead.
That said, there are a couple of things to keep an eye on. First, we’ll be dealing with some strong winds, especially late tonight and into tomorrow morning. The winds could gust up to 70 mph in the foothills, particularly in the usual windy spots. While it won’t be as intense in other areas, it could still cause some noticeable gusts, so be prepared for that if you're out and about.
Another concern tomorrow is the fire risk. The combination of dry conditions and strong winds will create near-critical fire weather, so it’s a good idea to be cautious, especially if you’re planning any outdoor activities. No official warnings are out, but it’s still something to keep in mind.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, we’re in for more pleasant weather. Monday night into Tuesday, a weak cold front will move through, but temperatures will stay pretty mild. Tuesday’s highs will be in the 60s to low 70s, a little cooler than Monday, but still nice. By Wednesday, temperatures will climb back up to the mid-70s, so it looks like another warm day.
Later in the week, from Thursday through Sunday, we’ll see some changes. A weather system moving in on Friday could bring some rain, with the best chance of precipitation happening from Friday afternoon through Saturday evening. Temperatures will be pretty warm on Thursday and Friday, with highs reaching the mid to upper 70s, but then we’ll cool down to more normal temps for Saturday and Sunday, with highs returning to the 60s.
