Tracking Weekend Rain Chances
Clouds and rain chances on the way. We’ll probably squeeze out one more warm day on the coast and maybe two more inland before much cooler weather arrives. Marine layer will be making a comeback with a cooling trend. Light rain chances increase for Sunday into Monday and Tuesday. Highs will return to normal this weekend and then will be below for most of next week. Increased cloud cover/moisture will keep our lows warmer, however!
AIR QUALITY: GOOD to MODERATE
Overnight: The evening with start with mostly clear skies, then high clouds will be on the increase. Clouds will act as a light blanket overnight which will help keep lows near seasonable. Low clouds/fog at coast. Expect temps in the upper 40s to mid 50s at the coast, cooler inland with mainly 40s, with a few valleys dropping into the 30s.
Saturday: Partly cloudy and slightly cooler with coastal highs in the 60s-70s and 70s-low 80s inland. Patchy coastal fog.
Sunday: AM patchy fog and mostly cloudy with scattered rain chances especially around Monterey Bay and north into Santa Cruz County with light precipitation expected. Temps cool down a bit with coastal highs 60s-70s and 70s to 80 inland.
Extended: Unsettled weather through Tuesday with a couple of weak weather systems passing through. Rain chances will be highest on the coast and farthest north as these systems move by. Seasonably cool and occasionally windy.
Don't forget to "fall back" this weekend as daylight saving time comes to an end. Turn your clock back one hour before heading to bed Saturday night! At least we get an extra hour of sleep!
