Quiet Weekend

Finally some relief from May Gray as northwest flow takes over Sunday. While a marine layer will remain present, the dryer northwesterly flow will cut down on clouds and lead to better afternoon clear-outs as we head into the work week. Clouds will return to coastal areas for the overnight hours.

AIR QUALITY: Good

Sunday: Becoming mostly sunny with gusty northwesterly onshore and up-valley winds at times. Expect highs in the 60s on the coast with 60s-70s inland.

Monday: AM clouds, patchy drizzle near the coast then gradual clearing with sunny skies. Highs will be warmer, in low to mid 60s coastal and upper 60s to upper 70's inland.

Extended: The weather pattern will see little change with overnight and am clouds with afternoon sunshine. There will be a subtle warming trend for the start of the work week, with Tuesday being the warmest with mid to upper 60s at coast and 70's and some 80's in the interior locations. Staying dry for the upcoming week.
