Forecast for Monday. Mostly sunny. Highs from the upper 60s to near 80. Northeast winds 5 to 15 mph. Except 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph in the hills and locally near the coast during the morning hours. [San Jose, California Weather] It looks like we may skip spring and go straight into summer this year. This is bad news, because when I was pulling weeds yesterday, the ground was still soft and the weeds came out easily. A week of summer temperatures will dry the ground out, making weed pulling impossible. 12:44:27 AM     Comment []
