Low pressure to our south, combined with high pressure over Nevada, will combine to generate gusty offshore winds and dry conditions through Saturday. This will keep temperatures several degrees below average, warming slightly over the weekend. Low pressure approaching from the north will bring increasing clouds by the middle of next week, with more precipitation possible. Expect sunny skies out there today with northerly winds developing 10-15 mph; gusts to 25 mph are also possible with highs in the mid to upper 50s. Clear tonight and locally breezy below passes & canyons as lows cool to the 30s. Mostly sunny and windy tomorrow with northeast winds 10-20 mph with gusts near 30 mph. Stronger gusts near 60 mph are possible through the usual wind-prone locations, below passes & canyons. Highs will top out near 60 through the weekend as the offshore flow weakens, with overnight lows generally in the 30s. Clouds and winds are forecast to increase next Tuesday ahead of an approaching low-pressure system, which should bring showers to the area later Tuesday into Wednesday, with the possibility again for a little snowfall, but mainly above 8,000 feet; will have more details as we get closer.
