Warm Saturday, Changes Sunday
Enjoy the warm weather on Saturday! Starting Sunday, we enter a period of cooler, unsettled weather.
AIR QUALITY: Good
Saturday: Passing high clouds with some low cloudcover on the coast late. Coastal highs in the upper 60s to upper 70s and upper 70s to mid-80s for inland areas. Breezy up valleys late in the day.
Overnight: Patchy low clouds on the coast with lows in the 50s. 40s for inland areas.
Extended: A deep trough digging in from the north, will be packed with cold air and will come in with a bluster. In fact, northwest winds may be gusty starting Sunday and lasting into mid-week as the storm track becomes more active. Cannot rule out a chance of light showers with an additional chance later in the week. The weather next week will be much different than this one!
