Our persistent ridge of high pressure remains in place across the area holding temperatures 10-20 degrees above average. We have seen some cooler temps return near the coast as onshore flow strengthens, though conditions will remain unseasonably warm inland. Expect mostly sunny skies through the end of the week as daytime highs top out in the mid-70s again tomorrow, with overnight lows in the 30s and 40s. Southwest winds 5-15 mph at times with gusts near 20 mph possible during the afternoons. High pressure will start to weaken this weekend, which should allow for a gradual cooling trend to kick in. We'll also see occasional high clouds, but no precipitation. A deeper trough of low pressure will develop off the West Coast next week, pulling temperatures back down closer to average, in the 50s and 60s. There's also a chance some unsettled weather could arrive around the middle of the week, but confidence remains low in the exact details at this time. Initial estimates bring in a chance of showers late Tuesday or Wednesday with the snow level near 8,000 feet.
