A Gradual Warmup Next Week

Expect more of the same over the weekend. Weak troughing will hang on over the West Coast into early next week. It is likely that temperatures will remain below normal during this period. There is some potential for heat late next week as a ridge of high pressure finally moves in, with some interior spots possibly climbing well into the 90s.

AIR QUALITY: Good

Sunday: Mostly cloudy coastal then partial clearing on the coast and staying unseasonably cool with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s and gradual clearing inland with highs 70s to low 80s. Still breezy.

Monday: Morning clouds then sunshine with temps still unseasonably cool. Coastal highs mainly in the low to mid 60s and inland in the 70s to low 80s. Gusty winds continue.

Extended: Pattern shift by mid week, which will mean a gradual warmup and more seasonal high temps. Interior locations could be well into the 90s by the weekend.
