Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy overnight with lows in the upper 60s.

Not as hot to start the work week. Temperatures will warm to the upper 70s to low 80s with more clouds than sunshine. High pressure will build in for most of the week, keeping us dry. We’ll start to warm up again on Tuesday with highs in the low 80s. Wednesday will be even warmer as highs soar to the upper 80s to low 90s.  The record high for Wednesday is 89 degrees, set back in 1941. Another hot one Thursday with highs in the low 90s. The record high for Thursday is 92 degrees, set back in 1986. The end of the week is looking a little uncertain depending on how fast a cold front moves through. Right now, Thursday is looking mostly dry and Friday is looking cooler with highs in the low 80s. Keeping a slight 20 percent chance for showers both days.

Fall weather returns for the weekend with highs in the low to mid 70s.
