Bluebird AM skies transition to PM mainly clear skies, with a few puffy PM clouds - increasing farther to the south near the border. Warm and dry. SW winds at 10 mph.

Morning sun, a few PM clouds, increasing farther south. A spot sprinkle is possible at summits, mainly sunny conditions otherwise. SW winds at 15 mph.

Extended outlook forecast:
A weak cool front will attempt to swing into the region Tuesday but won't do much due to lack of moisture. A few PM clouds are likely in the southern mountains with a spot sprinkle possible. Generally dry and unseasonably warm conditions continue until the weekend, when a strong upper level low approaches leading to significant dry downslope wind flow and fire concern. The low should approach close enough Sunday to produce shower chances, particularly for the mountains.
