Cooling Trend Continues Inland
Cooler, more seasonable weather is expected to continue in the coming days as a trough of low pressure has flattened out the ridge that brought heat earlier this week. High temperatures will be much closer to normal for this time of year through the end of the week. Another weather system will slide by to the north this weekend and may charge up the drizzle machine late Saturday into early Sunday. Temps will likely be coolest Sunday then warm through mid-week next week as the next ridge of high pressure builds in.
Overnight: High clouds decrease, but expect low clouds around the coast and into the larger inland valleys. Expect lows in the low 50s on the coast and mid-40s to low 50s inland. A few sprinkles of drizzle possible on the coast and breezy northerly winds over the hills.
Thursday: Becoming mostly sunny. Expect coastal highs in the low 60s to low 70s (warmest on the north side of the bay) and 70s to mid-80s inland. Breezy at times.
Friday: Mostly sunny and seasonable. Expect coastal highs in the low 60s to low 70s (warmest on the north side of the bay) and 70s to mid-80s inland. Breezy at times.
Extended: Temperatures will slide down a bit into the weekend with increased clouds and the potential for a drizzle late Saturday night. After a cool day on Sunday, temperatures will head steadily upward through at least mid-week.
The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for May 7th-13th calls for the likelihood of ABOVE normal temperatures and BELOW normal precipitation.
