Winds Ease
High pressure will strengthen to our northwest early this week, keeping the weather pattern somewhat blocked. We’ll remain in offshore flow, though the offshore winds won’t be as strong as on Sunday. This pattern usually favors warm days but chilly nights. Winds will shift back onshore by Wednesday, cooling us a bit and bringing occasional fog/low clouds back into the forecast into the weekend. Weaker weather systems may bring additional wind and shots of cool dry air Friday and Sunday.
Monday: Sunny with light offshore winds (still a bit gusty in the mountains). Warm, with highs in the 60s for most areas, 50s in the higher elevations.
Overnight: Clear and cool with lows in the 30s to around 40ºF for most
inland cities and upper 30s to mid 40s on the coast
Tuesday: Sunny and mild once again
with widespread 60s for highs.
Extended: Patchy fog returns to the coast on Wednesday, along with cooler temperatures. Highs will be seasonable to slightly cool into the weekend.
