Dry Until The Weekend
High pressure will nudge in for the end of the week, giving us mostly clear skies and seasonable temperatures. The next weather system to affect the region will arrive on Sunday afternoon, bringing wind and rain. Stronger high pressure returns next week with dry, warmer weather expected.
Friday: Mostly sunny with high clouds passing through. Highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Overnight: Mostly clear with a few thin high clouds passing through. Expect lows in the 20s-30s for most inland areas and mid 30s to low 40s on the coast. Patchy frost possible.
Saturday: Mostly sunny with periods of high clouds. Highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Extended: Clouds will be on the increase early Sunday as the next weather system arrives. Rain along with occasionally gusty wind is likely late in the day with showers lingering into Monday morning. High pressure will dry us out and then warm us up next week with highs expected to tip back above normal for this time of year.
The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for January 3rd – 9th calls for the likelihood of ABOVE normal temperatures and BELOW normal precipitation.
