Dryer, slightly warmer weekend

Air quality: Good (updated: 1:30pm)

Weather Story:  Saturday will be drier and slightly warmer. Mostly clear skies, with a few high passing clouds. Another weather system is sitting offshore and could bring the Central Coast light to moderate rain early next week. At the moment, this doesn’t look like a major storm.

Saturday: Cool in the morning but slightly warmer in the afternoon. Highs in the 50s to around 60ºF.

Overnight: High clouds stream in overnight. Lows will be in the 40s on the coast. With low to mid 30s inland.

Extended: We’ll remain quiet Sunday under partly cloudy skies. A stronger weather system will arrive Monday into Tuesday with widespread rain. At the moment, it doesn't look too heavy, however. Nicer weather expected after mid-week.
