Seasonable Weekend, Sun All-Around
Warmer, seasonable temps return this weekend with plenty of sunshine from the coast, inland. Offshore winds are possible before the ridge strengthens again this weekend. This will limit clouds, decrease humidity levels, and warm temperatures. The ridge will then weaken enough out of the weekend, possibly letting a wet weather system through. After some initial indications we may see some rain in the coming week, it now looks quite dry.
AIR QUALITY: GOOD to MODERATE
Saturday: Sunny, and warmer. Temperatures return to seasonable with mostly 60s across the Central Coast. Winds light throughout the day, gusty at times inland.
Overnight : Mostly clear. Another chilly night expected with lows in the upper 30s to low 40s at the coast, 30s and upper 20s inland. Patchy frost for interior valleys is possible.
Sunday: Mostly sunny, could see a few high passing clouds. Temperatures at the coast will be a degree or two cooler due to the return of a weak onshore flow, while inland temps will warm slightly. 60s for most areas, few 70s for Southern Monterey County.
Extended: Mild days and cool nights looks to be the weather pattern for the next week or so. It looked for a while that rain may make it into California, but that is not going to happen. Rain will likely hold off until 8-10 days from now at earliest.
