PM Update: Thursday will be much warmer than typical, but a cold front is approaching.

It could be our last near- or above-70 kind of day for a long time.

Sunshine and light winds combined with temperatures in the low and mid-60s to deliver a gorgeous day. Our break in typical November weather will be short-lived, but it will step up a notch tomorrow. Some spots will probably surpass 70 degrees.

Through Tonight: Mostly clear conditions will continue through the evening. Some high clouds may roll by overnight, but they will not amount to anything. Temperatures will dip to the upper 40s and lower 50s in most spots. Winds will be from the south-southwest, around 5 to 10 mph.

Tomorrow (Thursday): Skies will be much sunnier than not. We could see some increased cloudiness toward sunset, and particularly after, as a front approaches. Temperatures will be mainly near and above 70 for highs. It will be breezy. Winds will be out of the south-southwest, around 10 to 15 mph, with gusts to 25 mph or so.

Fleeting warmth: Soak up the 70s Thursday. Reality will return with a cold front late. Thursday will probably be the last day in the 70s for some time. It looks as though we may end up cooler than normal on the whole for the rest of the month, in addition to storm chances around Thanksgiving. The city might even flirt with a freezing low this weekend. The average first at- or below-freezing morning in our current climate was today, Nov. 17.
