WEATHER FORECAST

Conditions will be similar to those of Wednesday -- mostly cloudy,

that is. A chance of rain is expected this evening and into Friday

morning. Highs will be in the mid-60s, while lows will dip into the low

50s.

Expect much of the same early Friday, but the afternoon should be

partly sunny. Highs should be similar as well. We should hit the low 70s

this weekend. Stay dry.

Out farther, the northwesterly winds will blow 10 to 15 knots as well,

with 1-foot waves and a northwest swell of 3 to 4 feet. The swell will

build later to 4 to 5 feet.

A northwest swell today should provide a boost locally with waves

entering the waist- to chest-high range. Size should increase even more
