Weather Headlines

Mainly sunny and hot outlook for the holiday weekend

Storm coverage hasn't been as impressive Thursday. A thick canopy of clouds kept much of the region in a stable air mass. We don't anticipate but a few showers/storms during the evening. Most of those will be confined to the mountains. Clouds stick around overnight with lows around 60° and patchy fog around sunrise.
