Detailed Forecast:
Overnight: Clear to partly cloudy and cooler. Lows: 42 - 52. Winds: N 10.
Saturday: Mostly sunny and cooler, but pleasant. Highs: 62 - 67. Winds: N 10.
Sunday: Mostly sunny and stellar. Highs: 60 - 65. Winds: NW 10.

High temperatures will fall back into the mid to upper 60s over the weekend (which is still above average for the start of November!) under mostly sunny skies.

Don't forget, Daylight Saving time will end Sunday morning! While the extra hour of sleep will be great, the sun will set at 5:05 p.m. Sunday evening. 

It is very dry. Please no burning over the weekend. A Red Flag Warning may be re-issued over the weekend. Please do not burn any yard waste. Our rainless (measurable rainfall) streak is now 29 days. The record is 34 days from 2007 and we have a chance at breaking that record. 

Another warming trend returns next week with temperatures popping back into the 70s Monday through Thursday.  By the middle of the week we could see highs in the upper 70s to near 80.

Tuesday (Election Day): Partly sunny and warmer. Highs: 73 - 78.
