Highs in the 80s this week

4Warn Weather – Our Monday begins with patchy dense fog. Otherwise, we have a marvelous day on tap.

Temperatures begin in the 50s, but sunshine will quickly warm us up this afternoon. Highs will be around 80 degrees.

There is another chance for patchy fog tonight. Otherwise, we’ll have mostly clear skies with light wind and lows back in the upper 50s.

Sunshine continues through midweek, with temperatures staying well above average as highs top out in the low 80s through Wednesday. Even though this is summerlike heat, we will not break any temperature records this week.
