It will be hard to find anything negative to say about the weather today. Blue skies, low humidity after the dampness from overnight showers dries up, and temperatures near seasonal averages should make just about everybody happy.

We can thank low-pressure systems to our north. They're drawing air in from the west, and it's being dried and warmed as it comes over the mountains. That will keep skies mostly clear today, with highs in the mid-80s. Might be a bit breezy this afternoon, but that's just going to keep us comfortable in the sunshine.

It won't last, of course. Winds will shift tonight more to the south, bringing in higher humidities. And that will increase our clouds and our chances for showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday and Wednesday. The clouds and showers will keep temperatures comfortable - in the low 80s for the latter part of the week.

Shower risks will stick with us Thursday night into the holiday on Friday. But the 4th itself, and the rest of the weekend will be rain-free with highs in the 80s if the current forecast holds up.
