The forecast is fair, no clouds but a smoky haze will persist through Wednesday, from lofted smoke from western wildfires. Air quality issues are not expected with the smoke in the upper atmosphere. The haze will keep temperatures cooler than they would have been with full sun and sunrise and sunset will be a more vibrant red / orange. Change comes Thursday with a cold front. The chance of rain is low but the airmass will clear the smoke and cool temperatures into the weekend. At this point a frost is unlikely but it will feel like fall with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s.

Tonight: Clear skies. Low 48.
Tuesday: Sunny/Hazy. High 76.
Wednesday: Sunny/Hazy. High 80.
Thursday: Partly cloudy, breezy. High 70.
