After a cold start this morning, temperatures warmed up into the 50s this afternoon, and temperatures will continue to rise throughout the week. But as the temperatures rise, so will the winds.

Highs tomorrow will get into the mid 60s under mostly clear skies with a south wind at 15 to 30. Highs will continue to rise into the upper 70s on Wednesday under partly cloudy skies.

Thursday and Friday temperatures will top out in the lower 80s with strong southerly winds. This will increase the potential for wildfires.
