All quiet on the southwestern front. A pretty average day for this time of year yesterday. The high of 67 was 1 degree above average and the low of 39 was 1 degree below. Average those and you get, well, average. Temperatures pushing higher as high pressure noses back into our business. Low 70s today. Mid 70s tomorrow. Gusty east winds Monday will help push our high to near 80. Winds relax on Tuesday with a high in the upper 70s. Upper 70s Wednesday too. Mid 70s Thursday and upper 70s Friday.

The National Weather Service says we are a lock for the warmest January on record. Our persistent pattern is expected to persist into February. Continued warmth for us while the northern, central, eastern and even southern parts of the nation look forward to another arctic outbreak. Yikes! Enjoy not having to shovel sunshine!
