Warmer Sunday
High pressure keeping the central coast warm and dry for the weekend. Sunday will be even warmer and even hot inland with some spots in the 90s. The shallow marine layer will mean a higher chance of fog—in fact, fog is expected in the mornings for coastal areas and nearby valleys. Coastal temperatures will bump up slightly, but the shallow, stable marine layer will remain cool.
Then, everything changes early next week as an area of low pressure approaches from the west. Models are showing it pumping moisture into the region from the south which could lead to rain chances here locally starting Monday through at least Thursday. These chances will be highest over the inland mountains. A lot could change in the meantime, so stay tuned to the forecast.
AIR QUALITY: Good
Overnight: Low clouds will fill back into the valleys overnight. Fog likely, may be dense in spots. Coastal lows in the low 50s with upper 40s to low 50s inland.
Sunday: Morning clouds and fog giving way to sunny skies and even warmer conditions across the central coast. Interior sections will reach upper 80's and 90's in spots. Coast will be in low to mid 60's for daytime highs. Clouds roll back in late in the day.
Monday: Mostly cloudy with slight chance of showers in the afternoon. Cooling off with highs staying in upper 50s at coast and 60s and 70s inland. Rain chances increase for Monday night.
Extended: Cooler temps and clouds return Monday. Showers and even thunderstorms possible late Monday into Tuesday as a low pressure system bring moisture and instability to the region. Temps will be unseasonably cool once again. By late week, a warming trend expected.
