The weather will slowly get back to at least closer to normal conditions as the center of High Pressure moves to the East. The airflow will turn more onshore and that should help clean the air of the smoke that has been settling in the valley for the last couple of days. A weak Cold Front is moving through the state mainly to our North. It will bring high temperatures back to normal today as the high temperature will reach only about 74. The ridge strengthens a bit on Friday and we’ll warm to about 80 and stay there through the weekend.  Let’s just say most everyone will like the weather for the next few days except for those looking for rain.
