Forecast Discussion:

With this very quiet, early Fall-like weather, I'm going to work on some other projects and go really light on today's forecast discussion.

Temperatures everyday will be mid to upper 70's until our weekend system moves in on Saturday.  That will cool us down about 15 degrees, but rain chances are now looking quite minimal.

Figure 1 is a graphical 10 day forecast from the (paid side) of weatherunderground.com. We'll have periods of clouds on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday- wave clouds forming over the Rockies.  There are no hurricanes right now and the weather side of the California fires has calmed down some.   Enjoy some outside-time this week!
