Cooler conditions to last through the weekend
Cooler, seasonably mild weather is expected to continue as a trough of low pressure replaces the high pressure ridge that brought heat earlier this week.
Daytime high temperatures will be much closer to normal for this time of year (see below).
A weather system will slide by to the north this weekend and may produce areas of coastal drizzle late Saturday into early Sunday.
Temps will likely be coolest Sunday, followed by warmer weather through mid-week next week as the next ridge of high pressure builds in.
Thursday: Becoming mostly sunny. Expect coastal highs in the low 60s to low 70s (warmest on the north side of the bay) and 70s to mid-80s inland. Breezy at times.
Thursday night: Decreasing coastal clouds, turning mostly clear overnight. Lows in the 50s.
Friday: Mostly sunny and seasonable. Expect coastal highs in the low 60s to low 70s (warmest on the north side of the bay) and 70s to mid-80s inland. Breezy at times.
Extended: Temperatures will slide down a bit into the weekend with increased clouds and the potential for a drizzle late Saturday night. After a cool day on Sunday, temperatures will head steadily upward through at least mid-week.
The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for May 7th-13th calls for the likelihood of ABOVE normal temperatures and BELOW normal precipitation.
