warm and beautiful weekend

Wow! Was today the perfect fall day, or what? Sunshine, excellent visibility, and high temps in the mid 70s all combined to make for a gorgeous late October day. Add in some fall color and snow-capped mountains, and it was damn near perfect! It will warm to near 80 degrees both tomorrow and Sunday as high pressure strengthens over Northern California. Monday and Tuesday look nice, as well, with slightly cooler temperatures. The weather will change beginning Wednesday as the next disturbance moves in. Rain will begin Wednesday and last through Friday, with highs dropping into the 60s for highs those days. It's too early to know how potent this storm will be, or how much rain/snow to expect, so keep checking back for updates.
