Next System Arrives Tuesday
A pair of weak weather systems will move through Tuesday/Wednesday. While rain isn’t expected, a spritz of drizzle can’t be ruled out. The more noticeable impacts will be clouds, cooler temperatures, and occasionally gusty winds. Temperatures will level off with a bit more sun through the end of the week. Then, another system slides through this weekend. At the moment, it looks rather weak and mostly dry, but it bears watching.
AIR QUALITY: GOOD
Tuesday: Partly cloudy with a mix of low and high clouds. Cooler with occasionally gusty northwest winds. Highs in the 60s for most areas with some 70s in southern Monterey County.
Overnight: Partly cloudy. Expect lows in the 40s on the coast and 30s-40s inland.
Wednesday: Partly cloudy and cool once again with occasionally gusty northwesterly winds. A few spritzes of drizzle can’t be ruled out on the south side of the bay. Highs in the 60s for most areas.
Extended: Sunnier, warmer, and less windy toward the end of the week, but seasonable to slightly cool for this time of year. Clouds increase this weekend as a system slides through.
