Dry weather to continue
We will enjoy several days of dry and slightly warmer weather, as high pressure to our south keeps rain to the north for the workweek. The tail end of weather systems will brush past, however, pushing a few clouds in and keeping northwest winds in place.
High temperatures will be warmer than last week, but still at or slightly below normal for this time of year. Rain will return this weekend and the pattern looks to remain more active into early next week.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy (more clouds in the north than in the south). Mild, with coastal highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s, and 60s to low 70s inland. Winds pick up in the afternoon for all areas, but may get gusty on the exposed coast.
Tuesday night: Mostly clear with patchy valley fog. Lows in the 40s on the coast, upper 30s to low 40s inland.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny but a bit cooler with northwest winds. Winds could get gusty on the exposed coast. High sin the upper 50s to low 60s on the coast and 60s to around 70ºF inland.
Extended: Northwest winds will continue into Friday under mostly sunny skies. Highs will be seasonable to slightly cool … mainly 60s to around 70ºF. The weather pattern will become more active this weekend with daily rain chances Saturday through Tuesday.
The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for April 7th – 13th calls for the likelihood of BELOW normal temperatures and ABOVE normal precipitation.
