Thursday will be mostly sunny and cooler-than-normal with highs in the upper 70s, near 80°. The average high for this time of year is 87°.
The big story will be the winds with gusts to 30 mph expected through the weekend. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect through Monday morning.
Though temperatures will rebound and run closer to average this weekend with lows around 70° and highs in the mid-80s, a soaking rain is not in the 7-day forecast. It does appear that our dry season has begun!
