☀️ Today’s Weather
Sunday is looking like a breath of fresh air. Mostly cloudy but mild, with highs pushing up to 49–50°F and southwest winds gusting around 29 mph. We'll take it. After the chilly start to the weekend, this is practically a heatwave. If you're heading to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo for Breakfast with the Bunny or catching A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie at the War Memorial tonight, bring a light jacket. It's breezy but perfectly manageable.
