Coastal Drizzlefest Continues
Fogust will continue until further notices with a deep, stable marine layer in place on the coast. This will keep coastal temperatures below normal likely into the weekend. Inland areas will also remain cool due to weak low pressure aloft. High pressure will then strengthen with (especially inland) warming.
AIR QUALITY: GOOD
Sunday: Fog & drizzle possible in the morning, then partly cloudy on the coast but sunny inland. Expect coastal highs in the 60s to low 70s and mainly 80s-90s inland. Windy for inland valleys in the afternoon.
Overnight: Widespread low clouds for the coast and inland valleys. Patchy fog and drizzle possible. Lows in the 50s for most areas with some 60s in the far eastern valleys.
Extended: More of the same on the coast in the coming days, though some inland warming is likely.
