The rest of the week will be cool with highs in the upper 60s to near 70 today, Thursday and Friday. The start of the weekend will be dry on Saturday with highs in the mid 70s. Sunday marks the official start of summer at 4:24 A.M.. It's what we call the summer solstice...the precise time the sun is as far north of the equator as it will ever get (23.5 degrees) and marks the longest day of the year. However, it won't be feeling like summer... longer range forecasts suggest the remainder of June may be running below average for high temperatures: average highs for this time of year are in the low 80s.
