Dry tonight through Saturday night (with some fog), then rain returns Sunday afternoon or evening (~1/2") into Monday. Dry Tue/Wed, then "maybe" a strong storm next Thursday (more details about this on Sunday or Monday). Temperatures roller coaster over the next 10-days. […]

It's Monday (again!). Abnormally hot today and Tuesday. A big drop in temps starting Wednesday and we "may" then be done with above 80° highs for the season.
