Clear skies, gusty winds for Sunday
A weak weather system will slide through California this weekend.
Low clouds were widespread Saturday morning. Gusty onshore winds developing ahead of the front pushed in cooler air. Highs were mostly in the upper 50s and lower 60s.
Winds behind the system will rapidly switch offshore, bringing warmer temperatures to the coast Sunday.
Look for seasonable temperatures through
midweek, when another system will bring in cooler air.
