The Weather Authority is tracking plenty of warmth and sunshine for your Monday plans.

The Weather Authority's Oceana Hayden said, "Definitely want to go with the outdoor seating if you have any dinner plans this evening because it's going to be quite nice out there."

Monday

The work week is off to a chilly start this morning, with temperatures in the 40s and low 50s.

These cool conditions give way this afternoon, where we top out closer to average in the 70s.

Westerly winds this afternoon will keep our coastal areas slightly cooler, but plenty of sunshine will stick around throughout the day.

There is a high fire risk today due to very dry conditions and low humidity.

Fog potential is on the low end this morning, but that increases through the week

Tuesday

The warming trend continues throughout the week.

Morning lows will stay in the 50s for most, but will feel slightly warmer than Monday.

Highs are expected to top out in the upper 70s in the afternoon.

Plenty of sunshine and dry conditions persist.

Wednesday

A copy and paste forecast, with beautiful weather on tap through the middle of this week.

Morning lows closer to average in the 50s, with highs topping out in the 70s once again.

Plan on a lot of sunshine, with no rain to impede on any outdoor plans.

Low humidity persists through the rest of the week.
