Cool & Breezy Weekend

A trough of low pressure will slowly swing through the region this weekend, keeping high temperatures below normal and a few clouds in the forecast. Northwesterly onshore winds will be a presence into early next week and could get particularly gusty on Sunday. High pressure edges in next week and after a couple of cool mornings, highs will be back above normal by Monday.

Saturday: Becoming partly cloudy. Expect slightly cool temperatures with coastal highs in the low 60s to low 70s--warmest on the north side of the bay--and 70s to around 80ºF inland Breezy at times. A few sprinkles possible once again late, mainly on northwesterly/coast-facing slopes.

Overnight: Partly cloudy and a bit cooler with lows mainly in the 40s to low 50s.

Extended: Northwesterly onshore winds could get gusty on Sunday and temperatures will remain a bit cool for most areas. Then, we'll slowly warm up both on the coast and inland through mid-week. Low temperatures will be cooler, however, with widespread 40s.
