Pinpoint Weather meteorologist Travis Michels said the clouds appeared to be rows of stratocumulus clouds, a hybrid of layered stratus and cellular cumulus clouds.

Michels said the morning clouds would be followed by mostly sunny skies with temperatures reaching 70 degrees.

He expects the next few days to be much warmer than average, but not quite record-setting as far as high temperatures.
