We are calm and comfortable for Friday morning, June 20. Skies are clear and sunny. Temperatures at least start out cool and in the 60s. We will warm up quite a bit though into the lower to middle 80s for highs this afternoon. There is an isolated chance of a shower in the afternoon. A complex of storms off to our west will start to weaken and the remnants of it will produce some cloudy skies and the potential for a few brief rain showers right in the middle of the day. These will clear out this evening.
