Big Warm-up Coming
High pressure will dominate our weather again this week. A weak weather system will try to push in from the north Tuesday, but will only likely bring a few clouds. Temperatures will warm significantly around the region through the end of the week as the ridge strengthens. Then, a cool and dry system will move in on Sunday
Overnight: Slowly increasing clouds with patchy fog and drizzle
possible. Expect coastal lows in the low to mid 40s with low 30s to low 40s
inland.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy and cooler with breezy conditions on the
exposed coast and up over the ridgetops. Some drizzle possible in the coastal
hills. Highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Wednesday: Scattered clouds and a
touch cool--upper 50s to low 60s--on the coast with light onshore winds. Seasonable
inland with highs in the low to mid 60s.
Extended: Skies will remain mostly sunny to briefly partly cloudy for the
rest of the week. Building high pressure will send high temperatures upward and
by Friday-Saturday, they’ll be 5-10ºF above normal! A cooler, dryer weather system
will arrive Sunday.
The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for February 4th – 10th calls for the likelihood of near normal temperatures and BELOW normal precipitation.
