Thursday starts sunny and calm, with temperatures in the mid-60s and a little extra moisture in the air. It already feels like the upper 60s early this morning, so the day gets going on a comfortable note.
By afternoon, a mix of sun and passing clouds will take over as temperatures climb to a high near 85. The sky may look a bit hazy at times because of wildfire smoke, but the day stays dry with just a 1% chance of rain. Winds will stay light from the east-southeast around 7 mph, with gusts up to 13 mph. It may feel more like 92 during the warmest part of the day, so the heat will be a little more noticeable than the thermometer suggests.
