A very happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone. Monica and Estela look fantastic in their green, but I avoid green because it looks weird on my weather wall. (By “weird” I mean I vanish.) Such a beautiful and warm day with a high of 84. The record on this date is 87 set in 1887. Everything falls apart tomorrow. A High Wind Warning and a Dust Advisory begin at noon. Here’s your exclusive 9-Hour Forecast:
TONIGHT: The skies will be partly cloudy overnight, and the winds will be breezy. The SW winds will range from 5-20 mph, a bit breezy at time on the east slopes of the mountains. The low will drop to 57.
