Air Quality Report (As of 9:00AM)
All reporting stations are good.
The weather pattern will remain active this week with several weak systems lined up to reach the coast. The first will arrive overnight with an increase in clouds and maybe a few sprinkles lasting into the day Wednesday. Another system Thursday into Friday is now looking dryer, but a third system Saturday could bring some light rain. The pattern looks to remain active next week too with perhaps a stronger (wetter) system waiting in the wings. Stay tuned! In the meantime, temperatures are expected to remain cool for this time of year, though lows won’t be quite as frosty & cold later this week.
Wednesday (Veterans Day): Partly to mostly cloudy and cool with highs in the 50s to low 60s. A few sprinkles possible.
Overnight: Temperatures will be chilly, but not as cold as previous days. Coastal lows will be in the 30s-40s with 20s-30s inland.
Thursday: Scattered clouds and cool with highs in the 50s to around 60ºF on the coast and upper 50s to mid-60s inland.
Extended: Scattered clouds will continue to drift through on Friday and Saturday with some light rain possible by Saturday morning. This is looking most likely for coastal mountains at this point. Temperatures will remain seasonal to slightly cool through the end of the week, though lows will be less frosty. The weather pattern will remain active next week with rain possible again by mid-week. In the meantime, highs will return closer to normal early in the week.
