The weather, currently.
A beautiful day before the rain
It’s essentially mid-October already and Friday will feel like it in the best way. We’ll have a seasonal high of 65°F, refreshing northwest breeze, mostly sunny skies, and low dewpoints. I hope you can enjoy some of the day outside because wet weather arrives for our weekend.
Showers start our Saturday and a steadier rain is likely by the afternoon. Sunday will dry out but both days will be cool with highs in the upper 50s. Expect windy conditions on Sunday so all you kite enthusiasts, take note. Have a great weekend!

What you need to know, currently.
The LA Times has a story out today about the solar industry and desert conservationists making friends. It’s worth a read in its entirety, only if for the fact that it should bring a sunny moment into your day.
After nearly two years of negotiations, a coalition of solar companies, conservationists and other groups has come to terms on a set of principles — and plans for further collaboration — that could speed up the construction of badly needed renewable energy projects while also protecting wildlife habitat, preserving treasured landscapes and benefiting nearby communities.
Climate-friendly renewable energy development in line with justice for all living things is in everyone’s interest. Let’s hope California can continue to lead the way.
