It doesn’t get much better than this.  The entire Labor Day weekend will be absolutely beautiful.  This may be the nicest weather we’ve had all summer.  Sunshine will be abundant through Labor Day, with highs in the 70s and low 80s.  Overnight lows will dip into the 40s to around 50.  Afternoon wind will increase to upwards of 15-20mph out of the west in the afternoons.  The fire danger won’t be the worst, but it will still be high given the low humidity, warm afternoon temperatures and wind gusts upwards of 30mph.  Later on Labor Day Monday, a cold front will drop south out of Canada with increasing clouds and a few showers and storms.  A few showers will move through Monday night into Tuesday morning, and Tuesday will be a much cooler day with partly cloudy skies.  The unofficial end of summer won’t apply this year though, as temperatures will rebound next week back into the 80s for highs.  Enjoy the great weather and be safe this weekend!
