Showers Overnight, Then Cooler, Breezier
An area low pressure will pass by to
our south and out of our region on Saturday. Behind the system, breezy onshore
winds will develop, significantly cooling us into Sunday. Cooler, breezy
conditions will then greet us next week with a slow, but significant warm-up
into the end of the week.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy early with isolated showers (mainly in the
south), then becoming partly cloudy. Northwest winds pick up throughout the
day, keeping temperatures much cooler with coastal highs in the 50s to low 60s
and 60s inland. Low clouds thicken on the coast late with drizzle possible.
Sunday: Morning drizzle possible
Sunday, then just cool, partly cloudy and breezy through the rest of the day.
Expect highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s.
Extended: High pressure will build in for the rest of the week,
slowly warming temperatures once again. Morning fog possible in the valleys
early next week, but by the end of the week, expect sunny skies and very warm
temperatures for this time of year.
The outlook from the Climate
Prediction Center for February 29th – March 6th calls for the likelihood of ABOVE
normal temperatures and BELOW normal precipitation.
