The unseasonably warm weather will continue to persist throughout the remainder of the week. Patchy fog is expected in the morning, but will clear up by the afternoon as temperatures climb near 80 degrees. Tonight, passing clouds will give way to mostly clear conditions. On Thursday, sunny skies will prevail, with temperatures reaching the low 80’s. Much of the same can be expected for Friday, which could be the warmest day of the week. Saturday looks to be slightly cooler with a high temperature near 80 degrees, but is still about 15 degrees above average.
