Bring on More Rain
Cooler, unsettled weather returns this weekend and will likely last into Election day. A low to the north will slowly start to track south bringing with it on-and-off rain chance for several days. Most showers look to be light to moderate with cold temps to follow. It will be gusty at times as the front passes.
AIR QUALITY: GOOD to MODERATE
Saturday: Partly sunny with a few sprinkles possible across Santa Cruz & Santa Clara Counties, with a better chance of light rain across the rest of the Monterey Bay Area after dark. Highs in the low to mid 60s around the coast, mid to upper 60s inland.
Overnight: Mostly cloudy with a chance for light rain, and lows mainly in the 40s with a few 30s in sheltered valleys. Patchy fog possible.
Sunday: Mostly cloudy, highs cooler with 50s and 60s along the coast, 60s inland. Will remain dry through the day, but light to moderate rain will move in late Sunday night into Monday morning. Gusty at times. Remember to fall back, daylight saving time ends at 2am.
Extended: Lingering showers are possible early Wednesday but we'll start to dry out, at least for a few days and temperatures will gradually warm heading into Veterans Day.
