Weekend Winds

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.

Sunday: Mostly sunny and seasonable on the coast with highs in the 60s to low 70s--a bit cooler inland with widespread 70s. Gusty northwesterly onshore winds at times.

Overnight: Mostly clear and cooler with coastal lows in the 40s to around 50ºF and inland lows in the upper 30s to 40s.

Extended: Northwesterly onshore winds will continue into early next week. We'll slowly warm up both on the coast and inland through mid-week. Low temperatures will be cooler, however, with widespread 40s. Some cooling expected by the end of the week as a weather system passes by to the north. If it digs south far enough, we may have to talk about rain chances. Stay tuned.
