Mostly sunny skies with mild temperatures

A view of Irvine California from a high elevation. At the forefront of the photo, a green ridge speckled with trees sits in front of several dozen houses with red and brown roofs. At the center of the photo, a green valley with some white-topped structures are spread across the landscape. Behind the valley is a front of white clouds. Peeking out from the top of the white clouds are mountain peaks and a light blue sky.
Today's temperatures will be a few degrees cooler than yesterday.
