A cool and breezy start Friday quickly gives way to a stretch of unseasonably warm, dry weather through the weekend and into early next week. Afternoon highs will soar into the upper 70s to low 80s, running more like September than October. Nights stay comfortably mild. The next chance for rain comes midweek with a strong cold front, followed by a return to seasonable fall conditions by the end of the period.
