Some patchy fog will be possible again Saturday night, otherwise
Saturday night should be mainly dry. A couple of showers can`t be
ruled out on Sunday along the plateau but elongated upper ridging
will build in from the west with temperatures rebounding into the
80s. Monday and Tuesday continue to look warm with highs getting
into the upper 80s and potentially touching 90 degrees. Models
have slowed down rain chances from Tuesday night/Wednesday to
Wednesday night/Thursday. This means Wednesday will be another
