Jaramillo, 20, and Michelle H. Howard, 21, are expected to appear in Douglas County District Court this morning in connection with the May 8-9 thefts. Recovered items included hundreds of compact disks, backpacks, and a camera.

We're supposed to see a warming trend this week, with high temperatures climbing to 95 degrees by Wednesday. That will turn around with highs dropping again by the weekend, if the forecast holds. Today expect a high temperature of 86 degrees, with an afternoon breeze of 5-10 mph.
