Come tomorrow, it's another day of bright sunlight and an expected high of 74, with the calm of the morning giving way to a south southeast wind at 5 to 8 mph in the afternoon. NWS reports a continuation of this pattern into tomorrow night, though the low will be marginally higher, at around 47 degrees.
The week's midpoint, Wednesday, offers a bit of variety with partly sunny skies and a noteworthy cooldown, where highs are anticipated to reach only 61 degrees.
