Minimal cloud cover currently will get temperatures increasing early today with 90s expected by midday. Temperatures peak around 4pm with conditions slowly cooling into the evening hours. Few clouds today will limit any potential shade with mostly clear skies expected through the overnight. Overnight temperatures will drop to around 60 degrees on the plains with mid to upper 50s along the foothills.
