Happening now: Beautiful today. It’s especially nice after more than a week of rainy days. Highs in the 70s, with some gusts past 20 mph.

What’s next? Lots of clear skies and sun-filled days ahead. It’ll be cooler than average up ahead as well. Just about ideal.

Today’s daily digit — x/10: The main problem is it’s a Thursday. | 🤚 Your call?
The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a 0-to-10 scale.

Forecast in detail

Today (Thursday): Any morning clouds are breaking and leaving us mainly sunny by midday. A couple more clouds could bubble in the afternoon sun, but not many. Highs about 74 to 79. Winds out of the northwest blow around 10 mph, gusting to 20 mph. Confidence: Medium-High 😎 Nice Day!

Tonight: Skies remain mostly clear and humidity is gone so the air is clean. Should be a good night for sky gazing as lows settle across the 50s. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Friday): Sunshine rules again as the workweek concludes. A lot like today, but less gusty. Highs are largely in the mid- and upper 70s. Confidence: Medium-High 😎 Nice Day!

Tomorrow night: Mainly clear skies persist. Lows about mid-50s to near 60. Confidence: Medium-High

A look ahead

More nice day suns are likely on the way for the weekend. Mid- and upper 70s Saturday, with mostly mid-70s for Sunday. Lots on rays for both. Confidence: Medium

Mainly sunny on Monday with highs again in the mid-70s. Some additional clouds by Tuesday, with a chance of showers or a storm late in the afternoon. Confidence: Medium
