A warm, sunny trend hits Modesto this week

MODESTO -- It's another dry week, Modesto, with mostly sunny conditions and rising temperatures through the weekend.

The National Weather Service calls for a high of 64 today, followed by lows around 38 tonight. Those numbers creep up until we hit 70 on Friday and 73 on Saturday.

There's not much chance of rain in our area in the near future, though a week storm should bring some rainfall to the north of us and some snow into the higher mountain areas.

What we will get is a bit of wind, with gusts of around 15 mph over the next couple of days. To the south of us, the California Highway Patrol is warning of high winds below Merced County.
