Air Quality (as of 11:30AM):
Good to moderate for all reporting areas.
Weather Story: High pressure will remain in place for Sunday. But a trough will start to wedge into the Central Coast on Monday, briefly cooling our temperatures. The weak weather system will also bring gusty winds, and a few extra clouds.
Sunday: Sunny, warm, and dry. . Highs along the coast will be in the mid-60s to upper 70s. Inland mid-70s to low 80s inland. Breezy conditions. Coastal fog possible late.
Overnight: Low clouds/fog along the coast, otherwise clear. Lows in the 40s on the coast, with 30s to low 40s inland.
Extended: A weather system will pass by on Monday, bringing a few extra clouds and cooler, breezier conditions. Behind Monday’s system, an even stronger ridge of high pressure builds in, bringing some of the warmest air of the year so far.
Highs in the 70s to 80s possible. We'll continue to see dry, warm conditions throughout the next several days.
