Today (Sunday): A quick shower is possible during the early morning as most spots start in the 50s. Clouds hang around for much of the morning, potentially long enough that we can’t confidently award a Nice Day Stamp. The afternoon should bring increasing sunshine, but high temperatures aim about five degrees below normal in the mid- to upper 70s. Light breezes blow from the northeast during the morning and northwest during the afternoon. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Monday): Temperatures warm up a notch with highs near 80 to perhaps the mid-80s south of town in the sunniest spots. There should be less wildfire smoke than we’ve seen recently, allowing bluer, mostly sunny skies without as much haze. Confidence: Medium-High
Tomorrow night: A few clouds could build late but it generally looks like uneventful weather. Lows dip down into the 50s for the region, except around 60 downtown and nearer large bodies of water. Light west and northwest breezes die down fairly quickly after the evening hours. Confidence: Medium-High
A look ahead
Very slight (10%) chance of an afternoon shower or storm Tuesday and Wednesday. Cloud levels are a bit of a question mark, but skies should be fairly bright, even if some wildfire haze moves in. Northwesterly breezes both days could gust near 25 mph. Tuesday should stay on the warmer side with highs in the mid-80s, then perhaps closer to 80 on Wednesday as a reinforcing shot of dry, Canadian air moves in. Confidence: Medium
