Just A Touch Cooler
High pressure will be the main influence on our weather in the coming days, keeping high temperatures above normal. The next weather system will slip past the high and sneak in to our south on Friday. It is possible that system could throw some moisture our way in the form of an isolated shower or two Friday into early Saturday. Beyond that, back to warm & dry.
Wednesday: A few low clouds on the outer coast, otherwise occasional passing high clouds. Coastal highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s with 60s to low 70s inland.
Overnight: A few low clouds overnight, with patchy fog possible along the immediate coast. Expect coastal lows in the upper 30s to 40s with upper 20s to upper 30s inland.
Thursday: Partly cloudy with mixed mid to high level clouds. Otherwise, mild with coastal highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s and 60s to low 70s inland.
Extended: A cut-off low pressure system will slowly pass by to our south Friday into Saturday. Temperatures will remain fairly consistent with previous days, but it will also throw a few extra clouds our way. There is also the chance of a light shower or two late Friday into Saturday. High pressure then reasserts its dominance into next week with cool lows and warm highs. The transition period on Sunday/Monday may be a little cooler and breezy, however.
The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for February 26th – March 3rd calls for the likelihood of BELOW normal temperatures and BELOW normal precipitation.
