HI ALL

Look for partly cloudy this Friday and Saturday, moderate southwest breezes, and more temps in the mid- to high nineties. 'They' say Sunday should be sunnier, but that's a long way off. In any case, this is typically the height of our thermal season, so expect plenty of lift, even if it happens to be of the ho-hum variety.

It's also nearing time for the period that some locals call "monsoon", with rising humidity, streams of cumulus floating northeastward off the San Gabriels, probable buildups and possible overdevelopment. Not in the forecast yet, mind you, but will be soon...
