Fog tonight, record warmth Wednesday
TONIGHT: As clouds clear, temperatures will be slightly cooler dipping to the upper 40s overnight. Fog will develop and become more widespread with dense fog possible. Visibilities could drop lower than a quarter of a mile. Winds will shift overnight becoming southwesterly under 5 mph.
WEDNESDAY: It will be warm with temperatures warming in the mid to upper 70s, possibly breaking the record high of 76 from 1995. This would be the 5th record high broken or tied this month. Humidity will drop to 30-40% in the afternoon as southwesterly winds gust as high as 25 mph which could cause fires to spread quickly. Outdoor burning is discouraged for Wednesday.
EXTENDED: There is a chance of rain and isolated t-storms from mid-morning Thursday through early afternoon mainly north of HWY 50 as a storm system approaches. Rain amounts will stay under a tenth of an inch and will be spotty. Thursday will still be warm with high temperatures in the lower 70s, close to the record high of 73. As a cold front moves through Thursday night, a few showers are possible into early Friday morning. It will be much cooler and windy Friday with highs in the upper 50s and westerly winds gusting to 30 mph. The upcoming weekend looks to be more seasonal with temperatures returning to normal in the 40s Saturday and Sunday with cold nights in the upper 20s. We will have another chance of rain from Sunday morning through mid-afternoon with possible snow mixed in early before changing to all rain.
