This morning is a cooler start, in most communities, as we wake up in the 50s and lower 60s. This afternoon temperatures will climb into the low 80s, maybe slightly above the normal temperature for the date of 79 degrees.
Winds will become more southerly today allowing dew points return to the lower 60s this afternoon, setting us up for a muggier night and a warmer start Wednesday.
Tonight, we will see temperatures drop into the mid 60s with patchy fog developing after midnight.
