Weather
This morning we had a low pressure area west of Washington, that weakened as it drifted eastward, bringing some light rainshowers into their coast, well north of our area. The clouds will once again get pushed into the coast tonight bringing mostly cloudy skies, winds westerly northwesterly 5-10 but diminish overnight becoming light and variable, lows near 51.
Tomorrow an upper level high pressure ridge builds in and brings us mostly sunny skies, the winds becoming northwesterly 5-10, highs climbs up to near 70. Tomorrow night we will see mostly clear skies, again the winds die off, lows near 53.
Friday we will enjoy sunny skies, winds becoming northerly 8-12 gusting to 20, highs climbing to near 73, mostly clear skies again Friday night, light winds, lows near 54.
The ridge peaks on Saturday, and so do the temperatures, so we see mostly sunny skies, the high climbing to near 74, then a partly cloudy night, lows near 54. It looks like the valley will be seeing highs in the mid, possibly the upper 90s, so we can expect gusty winds again in the afternoon at the coast.
On Sunday the ridge weakens and drifts eastward and though we keep the mostly sunny skies, the afternoon high is near 71. Sunday night the marine clouds return, the low near 56.
Monday looks partly sunny, and with the onshore flow returning, high temperatures only make it to near 66, we see partly cloudy skies Monday night, lows near 53, then Tuesday we expect mostly sunny skies, the high near 67, lows again in the low 50s.
