High pressure still in control now. Maybe a couple of clouds scooting in along the coastline. Otherwise, we have some great weather coming our way. Like to get a little rain in here, unfortunately that not going to come over the next few days. Maybe as we get into next week. So mostly clear and cold inland to start out the day. Some of those temperatures dropping off in the 20s and the 30s and then sunny and mild weather looks like more sunshine and warmer temperatures for tomorrow. I think some of the numbers getting near 70 by tomorrow afternoon. Couple of systems trying to run into this ridge and breaking it down. Unfortunately, they just continue to scoot over the top of the jet stream so we are going to stay dry for today and probably for at least the next few days.

Looks like that will help to cool down the temperatures. But then looks like nice weather over the weekend. Winds may kick up with some offshore breezes. Here we go. Im being optimistic, but i put a slight chance of some showers on tuesday. Thats about as close of a chance as i have seen in quite some time. And that one does not look very impressive.
