We had a weak, but moist low pressure system moving in today that brought us some clouds, mist, drizzle, and then more rain. The rain is expected to continue as the low moves inland tonight then dissipates, bringing an end to the rain around midnight, and we see calm winds with the low down around 50.
Tomorrow, we will see partly sunny skies after some patchy morning fog, breezy northerly winds becoming 10-15 gusting to 20, the high near 64. With partly cloudy skies tonight, the low drops down to near 44, and with the calm winds, some patchy morning fog is likely once again.
High pressure starts building in by Wednesday so after the patchy morning fog clearing, we enjoy a mostly sunny day with the winds becoming northerly 8-12, the high near 67. Mostly clear skies tonight, the patchy fog possible again by the early morning hours, lows near 51.
With a strong high pressure ridge over the area, Thursday looks sunny and 77, the lows, with mostly clear skies, around 56. The temperatures peak up around 81 Friday, possibly with some offshore winds, lows near 53, then Saturday the onshore flow returns, the high only near 74, the clouds and patchy fog return Saturday night, lows near 51.
By Sunday the temperatures return to something more seasonable, and with the marine clouds pushing in we have a mostly cloudy day, then a cloudy night, the highs only near 68, lows near 51.
