Slow Improvement
We’ll get a break on Sunday, mainly sunny and dry, before the next shortwave moves by Monday which will bring a few light showers to the region. High pressure looks to eventually return, but it may be the end of next week before it gets here and warms us up.
AIR QUALITY: Good
Sunday: Partly cloudy, mild, and muggy. Breezy at times with highs in the upper 50s to 60s.
Overnight: Becoming mostly cloudy. Lows will be mainly in the 40s, few low 50s near the coast.
Extended: Increasing clouds Monday and maybe a few sprinkles. Partly cloudy Tuesday/Wednesday with slightly warmer but still seasonably cool temperatures. Warming by the end of the week.
