Squeezing Out One More Nice Day
The weather pattern begins to flatten out over the next few days, allowing for weather systems to make it farther down the coast. A second weak frontal boundary will pass through overnight with some high cloudcover, We’ll probably squeeze out one more warm day on the coast and maybe two more inland before much cooler weather arrives. As a trough begins to develop this weekend, additional weather systems will pass through. One on Sunday into Monday may bring some light rain to the area with another following Tuesday with similar light rain dynamics. Highs will return to normal this weekend and then will be below for most of next week. Increased cloudcover/moisture will keep our lows warmer, however!
AIR QUALITY: GOOD to MODERATE
Friday: Mostly sunny and warm, with coastal highs in the upper 60s to around 80ºF and upper 70s to mid 80s inland. Breezy for inland valleys later in the day. Low clouds/fog return to the coast late.
Overnight: The evening with start with mostly clear skies, then high clouds will be on the increase. Clouds will act as a light blanket overnight which will help keep lows near seasonable. Expect temps in the upper 40s to mid 50s at the coast, cooler inland with mainly 40s, with a few valleys dropping into the 30s.
Saturday: Partly cloudy and slightly cooler with coastal highs in the 60s-70s and 70s-low 80s inland. Patchy coastal fog.
Extended: Unsettled weather Sunday through Tuesday with a couple of weak weather systems passing through. Rain chances will be highest on the coast and farthest north as these systems move by. Seasonably cool and occasionally windy.
