John Nodar Plenty of Sunshine
September 02 2010
Lots of sunshine, a light easterly breeze, and a high of 93 today. Low humidity will make the warm temperatures more tolerable.

Starry skies tonight. Low 71.

Tomorrow and Saturday look much like today. A cold front arrives late Saturday, but you won't notice it much. Our skies stay mostly sunny and our temps drop a couple of degrees to around 90 for Sunday and Labor Day Monday. A 20% chance of showers returns Tuesday.
