More unseasonably warm weather is on the way for much of this work week, until the next significant cold front. Expect a mostly cloudy to partly sunny day Monday with breezy winds gusting up to 30 mph, and warm highs in the mid-80s.

A few isolated showers can’t be ruled out. Tuesday and Wednesday both look dry with highs staying in the 80s.
