When the sun dips below the horizon, expect the clarity of the skies to persist, though temperatures are predicted to dip to a comfortable 66 degrees. The northwest wind will maintain its subdued dance, humming at around 5 mph. For those planning their week, Wednesday will greet us with undiluted sunlight, and the thermostat is set to push a notch higher to 86 degrees. North winds will continue their soft whispers at around 5 mph.

On Wednesday night, clear skies will continue, with lows around 66 degrees. A light breeze from the northeast will persist into Thursday. Thursday will be similar to previous days with mostly sunny skies and a slightly warmer temperature around 87 degrees. A light 5 mph breeze from the north will continue.
