A Little Bit Cooler Now
The
weather pattern will remain progressive this week. However, high pressure will
exert its presence from the southwest, blocking most weather systems from
stretching too far south. The first of these will slide by on Wednesday morning
with two additional systems spaced out into the weekend. The systems won’t do
much except throw a few clouds our way and perhaps a bit of drizzle and wind.
Temperatures should remain within a few degrees of normal.
Overnight: Clear and cool with some fog in the valley
bottoms. Expect coastal lows in the mid 30s to low 40s and 30s inland.
Monday: Mostly sunny with just a few
high clouds passing through. Dry and gusty northerly winds over the ridgetops
with briefly breezy conditions on the exposed coast. Warmer, with highs in the
upper 50s to mid 60s.
Tuesday: Mostly clear and chilly
early. Then, mostly sunny and mild during the afternoon. Winds will slowly
shift back onshore with some cooling effect. Highs mainly in the upper 50s to
low 60s. Increasing clouds late with some drizzle possible. Occasionally
breezy.
Extended: Cooler and breezy on Wednesday with partly cloudy skies and a
few sprinkles possible. Clouds will increase again on Friday and Sunday as weak
systems pass through. Temperatures will remain within a few degrees of normal.
The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for January 13th – 19th calls for the likelihood of BELOW normal temperatures and ABOVE normal precipitation.
