WEATHER FORECAST

The high just might hit 70 in Costa Mesa on this very sunny, but

slightly breezy Thursday. Newport Beach will feel slightly cooler

temperatures and encounter similar breezes. Overnight, the low will drop

to about 50 in both cities.

On Friday, the mini heat wave arrives in the form of readings in the

mid-70s. Get those shorts back out, if only for a day or two. Just make

sure to back them up with evening pants. Expect even warmer temperatures

on Saturday before returning to normal on Sunday.
