Otherwise, expect times of sun and clouds with above average highs in the mid to upper 80s.These highs today and through this weekend will be 3-6F above average for this time of the year.That means near-record high temperatures are expected. Thankfully, record heat in November is not as brutal or extreme as record heat in the summer months!Friday will be a fairly similar story as today with the chance ...
