Thursday, the breeze turns to the northeast and eventually east. This will make for a milder holiday compared to the start of the week with highs pushing into the upper 70s after a morning low right at or just above 70 degrees.

The air will still be relatively dry, but with an ocean breeze there is always a chance that a light shower my pass through the area. Still looks pretty good after the cold blast we get just a few days before. Light wind and plenty of sunshine to start the day followed by a mild afternoon and evening with just a few clouds. Lows will be near 70 Thursday morning with highs in the middle to upper 70s.
