Coastal Clouds and Cooler Temperatures Return

A strengthening marine layer is bringing widespread cloud cover and the possibility of light drizzle, particularly west of the mountain ranges. While most areas are expected to remain dry, coastal communities and adjacent valleys may experience damp roadways this morning.

Two Waves of Rain Expected Early Next Week

Cooling Trend and Precipitation

A low-pressure system advancing from the northwest will initiate a cooling trend lasting through the beginning of next week. Measurable precipitation is anticipated in two phases: late tonight and again from Monday night into Tuesday morning.

Rainfall Amounts and Wind Conditions

Coastal and valley regions are expected to receive minimal rainfall, while mountainous areas could see up to a quarter of an inch. Wind conditions will also intensify, with gusts between 35 and 45 miles per hour, potentially reaching 60 mph in vulnerable areas like mountain passes.

Temperatures to Rise Again by Mid-Week

Coolest Days Monday and Tuesday

Monday and Tuesday will be the coldest days of the week, with daytime temperatures falling below seasonal norms. This is a direct result of the incoming low-pressure system and cooler air mass.

Return to Warmer Weather

Conditions are forecast to become drier by mid-week as high-pressure systems re-establish themselves, initiating a warming trend. Inland areas may experience temperatures significantly above average by the weekend.

Temperature Outlook for Sunday

  • Coast: 64 to 68°F
  • Inland Valleys: 68 to 74°F
  • Mountains: 48 to 58°F
  • Deserts: 74 to 82°F

    • Residents are advised to stay updated with the latest weather forecasts and prepare for both the cooler conditions early next week and the subsequent warming trend. Long-range forecasts suggest continued above-average temperatures into the following week.
