Dry and warm for Monday

Clear and windy conditions dominated Northern and Central California’s weather Sunday. Northerly offshore winds developed as higher pressure built in behind a low pressure trough that moved into Southern California Sunday, producing widespread showers.

The offshore flow warmed temperatures, with some coastal cities
reaching the upper 60s.The warm and dry pattern will continue Monday and Tuesday. Later in the week, another system will bring temperatures down to seasonal norms.
