Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

As has been the case quite a bit lately, the marine layer will help us

kick off the morning, but will burn off about noon for a mostly sunny

afternoon. Highs will be in the mid-60s in Newport-Mesa. Overnight lows

will be in the mid-50s.

Wednesday will be similar, though skies won’t be as sunny during the

afternoon. Thursday should be much sunnier and a bit warmer.
