Warm & Dry Through Wednesday
WEATHER STORY
Wednesday still looks to be the warmest day of the week, but a cold front approaching from the west will cool our temperatures a bit as we get closer to the weekend. A system to the north has slight probability to drop a trace of precipitation on the San Francisco Bay area. We will stay dry locally, but will see increasing cloud cover and a couple of overcast days this weekend.
AIR QUALITY: GOOD
Wednesday: This will be the warmest day of the week! Inland highs will climb into the upper 80s and even low 90s at times. The coast will top out in mid 70s. Winds will be lighter, and we'll have another day of ample sunshine before clouds return to the forecast toward the end of the week.
Thursday: A tad cooler regionwide, with lower 70s at the coast and mid to low 80s further inland. Expect breezy conditions at times, and a notable increase in clouds through the end of the week.
Extended: High pressure will trek its way eastward, effectively warming regionwide temperatures into the mid to upper 80s inland and 70s at the coast by mid week. By the end of the week, however, things will have cooled off with noticeably increased cloud cover.
