A summer-like day in store for Halloween with temperatures in the upper 70s, like SW winds, and mostly sunny skies. Fine particles are expected MODERATE due to transport and some light fire smoke in the area. Stronger SW winds on Friday ahead of a front will improve mixing and drop fine particles back to GOOD.  Continued mild with some early clouds, late sun, highs in the mid 70s. Temps drop into Saturday with northerly flows and highs nearly 20F cooler in the upper 50s, but still a nice overall day with sunshine.
