Cooler Into The Week
We’ll be in a much more seasonable weather pattern for most of next week with low clouds near the coast and highs in the 60s-70s. Inland areas will mainly see 70s-80s. However, with a trough lingering on the West Coast, unsettled weather can’t be ruled out and we'll see occasional passing high clouds.
Sunday: Partly cloudy and a bit muggy with a few low clouds near the coast and scattered high clouds. Coastal highs in the 60s to around 70ºF and inland highs in the 70s to around 80ºF.
Overnight: Mostly cloudy with low clouds near the coast and a few high clouds passing through. Lows mainly in the 50s with a few pockets of 40s inland.
Extended: A somewhat complex pattern will develop for most of next week with a trough of low pressure stalled on the coast. Surface flow will remain onshore, which will likely mean periods of low clouds and seasonable to slightly cool temperatures. However, with low pressure aloft, the marine layer can destabilize and the clouds can mix out. So, we’ll have to look for some of the smaller scale features as the days get closer. There may also be a chance of rain next week, though I don’t expect it to be widespread or heavy.
