Good Morning Fog. See You Soon Sun!
Air Quality Report (As of 7AM)
All reporting stations are good.
High pressure continues to weaken into early in the week as a low sneaks in to our southwest. The low won’t have any direct impacts on us, but temperatures will cool as our marine layer is allowed to deepen in the coming days. We’ll also likely see the return of low clouds as the layer moistens. Light offshore flow will return early to mid-week which will likely clear us back out again. However, the air mass won’t be as warm. In fact, by the end of the week, much cooler weather is expected.
Monday: Patchy low clouds and fog on the coast, otherwise sunny. Cooler, with coastal highs in the mid-60s to low 70s and upper 70s to low 90s inland. Becoming breezy for inland valleys in the afternoon.
Overnight: Low clouds push back in along the coast and inland valleys. Foggy conditions possible. Expect coastal lows in the 50s with upper 40s to 50s for inland valleys and 60s up in the hills.
Tuesday: Morning and evening low clouds, with a slightly warmer afternoon. Highs on the coast will be in the 70s for most with 80s-90s inland.. Becoming breezy for inland valleys in the afternoon.
Extended: Expect sunnier weather through mid-week with slightly warmer temps, then a big cool-down toward the end of the week under partly cloudy skies.
