Slight Warming Trend to End the Weekend

WEATHER STORY
The unseasonably cold weather system that brought cool temperatures, snow to the Sierra, and isolated showers to inland locations, will start to move northeast from the West Coast. High pressure will slowly build back in. Temperatures will slightly head upward on Sunday for all areas, under mostly sunny skies. That trend will continue into Monday, which looks to be the nicest, warmest day next week.

FORECAST & ALERTS

Overnight: Low clouds will hug the coast most of the night, patchy fog possible, while inland locations will remain under mostly clear skies. With a cool air mass still in place and clear skies, overnight lows will be on the chilly side. Widespread 40s for most areas across the Central Coast. A few 30s possible for inland locations.

Sunday: Mostly cloudy in the morning for coastal areas, clouds will break slowly. Inland locations will see mostly sunny skies, even to start the day. Temperatures will warm slightly, except 60s along the coast, with 70s inland. A light breeze along the coast, windy for inland valleys in the late afternoon and early evening.


Extended:
 The gradual warm up will be short-lived. The ridge will start to flatten by mid-week which will slightly drop temperatures for the remainder of the week. Temperatures won't fluctuate much. Clear conditions will also persist across the Central Coast.
