Saturday morning will be breezy on the west side of the Valley and in the Sierra, but by the afternoon perfect late October weather will take over.

This weekend will be dry with lots of sunshine and pleasant temperatures.

A weather system will kick the winds up again on Monday. There is also a chance for a few mountain showers to the north of Tahoe.

Late next week will turn cooler and cloudier. There is a chance it may rain next weekend, but there’s no need to call of Halloween plans at this point.
