WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

The sun returns Sunday afternoon, as does the dew point in the mid-60s. This will make our 83 feel a little warmer at 86. So we’ll stay almost 10 degrees above average on Sunday afternoon. The sun will set at 7:12pm this evening and it should be a beautiful evening. For those of you who need a break from the cleanup, just take a break up into the sky and enjoy the clear blue skies.

We remain above average well into Monday morning. The sky is clear and temperatures are around 60°C. The average low for this time is 53°C. Sunrise on Monday will be at 7:36 a.m

The look forward

The weather will be completely different next week. We are cooler and keep the sunshine.

Monday afternoon we will reach highs between 75 and 78 with a light north wind at 5 mph. The afternoon will be very pleasant. Sunsets are at 7:10 a.m. and early evening falls in the mid 60s.

Over a longer period of time, the most important thing is sunshine and below-average temperatures. Temperatures will remain in the low 70s and we are looking at even 40 degrees by mid-week.
