National Weather Service officials are forecasting a mostly cloudy day, with gradual clearing and a high around 78 degrees. Overnight, the clearing will continue, with a low of about 53 degrees. The forecast calls for continued mild days, with temperatures reaching the low 80s the rest of the week.
