We had some very special guests in the studio today. Girl Scout Troop 50021 brought in a whole wagon of cookies that they are donating to the Stand with Estela Foundation. A sweet treat for those battling cancer. We had a few isolated showers today, so if you experienced a few drops on the windshield, then consider yourself very lucky (unless you just had that car detailed).

It was a pretty nice day today. Did you notice the difference between the dusty haze Monday evening vs. a fairly clear evening tonight? The peak gusts were similar: 39 mph on Monday vs. 35 mph today. So why less of a dusty haze? The upper level winds have diminished in strength, and that’s why we were less dusty today. We’ll be even better tomorrow. Here’s your exclusive 9-Hour Forecast for Wednesday:TONIGHT: The skies will be clear with a very slight dusty haze early in the evening.
