Weather Highlights:

Wednesday and Thursday had warm high temperatures, Wednesday at 60.6ºF and Thursday at 60.3ºF. However due to cold night time temperatures we still averaged low compared to this time last year.

Weather for the coming week:

• Tuesday night through Thursday afternoon: A very strong atmospheric river (also known as the Pineapple Express) is going to effect the entire area, forecasters are expecting 1-4 inches of rain over the 48 hour period, making land and mud slides a concern. On top of that we may get a little wind, with the soil already as soggy as it is, with this added rain we may have some downed trees as a secondary concern.

Stay safe and watch for standing water this week on area roads, especially in construction zones.
