Picture Perfect

Pleasant weather for the rest of the week and through the weekend as our weather pattern stays quiet. Temps will stay at or below average this week with a slight bump into Wednesday. A trough to our north will slide east, meaning high pressure will keep us under pleasant conditions. A weekend trough will bring a deeper marine layer and cooler temps again for some areas along with gusty winds.

AIR QUALITY: Good to Moderate

Overnight: Patchy low clouds and fog along the coast with mainly clear skies inland. Lows in the low to upper 50s to 60s inland.

Wednesday: AM clouds/fog at coast possible then sunny skies with temps in mid 60s at coast and 70s to low 90s inland. WNW winds gusty in valleys.

Extended: Not much change with quiet and dry conditions rest of the week. Temps will stay close to seasonal. By the weekend, a system from the north will allow more of a marine layer and possibly cooler temps again as well, along with windy conditions.
