Chilly Overnight, Rain Chances Wed, Thu

High pressure will weaken over the area Tuesday, allowing a storm system to slip through. Its biggest impacts will be far to our north, but some light precipitation is still likely to make it to our shores. In the wake of this system, a blocked weather pattern will develop with high pressure to our west and troughing to our east. Weak systems will ride down the northwest flow overhead, bringing clouds, cool air, occasional wind, and some showers from time to time. One will pass by on Thursday, another Saturday, and another early next week.  

Overnight: 
Clear with patchy fog in the valley bottoms. Expect lows in the low to mid 40s on the coast and upper 20s to 30s inland.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny but cooler as winds slowly shift back onshore. Clouds will be on the increase late with some drizzle possible before midnight. Highs mainly in the upper 50s to low 60s. Breezy at times on the coast, especially late.

Wednesday: Partly to mostly cloudy with occasional drizzle to very light showers. Cool and breezy with highs in the 50s.

Extended: Another system will bring the chance of some light rain showers early Thursday before clearing on Friday. High temperatures will remain below normal. The next system after that will arrive around Saturday with similar possibilities.



The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for January 14th – 20th calls for the likelihood of BELOW normal temperatures and ABOVE normal precipitation.
