Well things are looking fair, dry, and mild for at least the next 7 days. We continue to be in a weak trough pattern where the only variations are how much affect does the onshore flow have each day. The daily question, will the clouds all burn back or only partially burn back? So, tonight the clouds return along with a chance of some patchy morning fog after the winds die off, the low near 50.
Tomorrow the clouds slowly burn back leaving a mostly sunny afternoon, winds becoming northwesterly 5-10, the high near 67. We see increasing clouds again tomorrow night with the west winds, lows near 48.
By Sunday, a weak ridge of high pressure influences the area, and we see mostly sunny skies with northwesterly winds 8-12, the high up near 68. We enjoy partly cloudy nighttime skies on Sunday, the low near 50.
The ridge flattens Monday yielding little change at the surface so mostly sunny skies prevail, highs near 68, the marine clouds likely return Monday night, lows near 51.
Tuesday, we expect partly sunny skies, still with that afternoon sea breeze kicking in, the high near 67, then Wednesday and Thursday look mostly sunny with the highs near 69, and with partly cloudy nights, lows near 53.
Looking at the long range forecast suggests the fair, dry and mild conditions remain for the next 10 days.
