Close to 100 on Friday; Cool front Tuesday — Your 9-Day Forecast

Wow! We’re 36 days away from Halloween, and the high today is 93! That’s 7 degrees above normal, and the record is 98 set in 2020. As you may know, I have dressed my whole family up for Halloween every year since 2009. Below are our costumes from 2016, which cost almost nothing, by the way. (It’s mainly sheets and red fabric.) The key is finding the right backdrop to make them look good. In this case, we went to La Vina Winery and borrowed their grapes for a few minutes. Part of the fun of Fall is cooling down, but as you can see by the forecast below, that really won’t be happening much over the next 9 days.

TONIGHT:  The skies will be clear, and the winds be a bit breezy to windy early in the evening.  The SE winds will range from 10-25 mph with stronger gusts on the west slopes.  Slowly the winds will die down, and the low will drop to 65.

FORECAST:  Thursday will be sunny with a high of 95.  Except for the very above normal warmth, Thursday will be a nearly perfect day with very light, variable winds.  Friday will be sunny and hot with a high of 98 as high pressure reaches its maximum.  The SE winds will range from 10-25 mph with stronger gusts on the west slopes by early evening.  Saturday will be sunny and slightly cooler with a high of 94. Sunday will be sunny and 92 with moderate winds on the west slopes. Monday will be sunny and breezy with a high of 94.  On Tuesday, a cool front blows in and drops the high to 87.
