I know it has been a while, but this wet stuff is called rain. We had a front move across this morning that gave the area some measurable precipitation for a change. The front was supported by an upper level trough of low pressure that has an upper level low developing to the northwest that will push down across the area tonight also. This is bringing scattered showers across the area this evening that will become more scattered in nature later tonight, after around midnight when it moves south of our area. Winds tonight northerly 4-8, the low drops to near 54.
Tomorrow the low will be south moving into northern California, and conditions here will continue to improve, so we can expect slow clearing with sunny skies by the afternoon. Look for breezy northwesterly winds 10-15 gusting to 25 tomorrow, the high near 73, then partly cloudy skies tomorrow night, calm winds, lows near 55.
It looks like the low will stall and weaken down near northern California Saturday when the winds shift to the southwest and we start to see a few clouds return that could give is a light scattered shower or two, the southwesterly winds 5-10, and the high near 71, lows near 56.
The models are suggesting we could see another front bringing a chance of showers Sunday into Monday, when they become more widely scattered behind the system, highs near 65, lows near 51.
Tuesday and Wednesday look mostly sunny highs near 67, lows near 50 with an onshore flow remaining.
