Temperatures this evening will fall into the 60s by 8 p.m. with clear to mostly clear skies remaining overnight.
We’ll start Thursday morning with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 40s, but clouds will begin to roll in through the morning. By the afternoon, skies will be partly to mostly cloudy and temperatures will reach the mid 70s.
