You can feel that cold front has passed, can’t you?

Cloud cover should continue to diminish throughout the day.

Windy and cool weather persistsĀ Thursday – with high temperatures again struggling to hit 60. The breezy conditions and very dry air mass in place will lead to conditions conducive to the spread of wildfires.
