Dry, But Chilly Weather Into The Weekend

AIR QUALITY:
GOOD for all reporting stations


WEATHER STORY

Expect dry but cool conditions across the region for the next few days as we get a break from the active weather pattern. Don’t worry, it will be back just in time for your holiday travel plans next week with several days of rain expected. In the meantime, enjoy the sunny afternoons and cold, frosty nights.

Overnight: Mostly clear with a few low clouds hugging the hills in places, and fog possible in low, sheltered areas. Cool, with lows in the mid 30s to low 40s on the coast and mainly 30s inland. Breezy northerly winds over the hills at times.
 
Friday: Sunny but cool with highs in the 50s. Breezy northerly winds over the hills at times.

Saturday: COLD in the morning with coastal lows in the low to mid 30s and mid 20s to low 30s inland. Mostly sunny during the afternoon with a few high clouds passing through. Some low cloudcover possible on the coast late. Highs mainly in the 50s.
 
Extended: Dry conditions continue through Sunday and at least early Monday. Clouds will increase on Sunday then rain will return east early as late Monday and more likely early Tuesday which could be heavy at times. We’ll likely see some strong winds during this period as well. Those with travel plans early next week will need to watch the weather very closely. We’ll take care of ya’, so watch with us! ;)
