Ben's WX Summary
- Updated: Thursday @ 09:29am
Enjoying nice summer weather out there, with slightly above-normal temperatures and dry conditions. A late-season trough of low pressure will push into the West Coast this weekend, spreading cooler temperatures and gusty west winds into the area, warming slightly next week. Mostly sunny and breezy today with a high near 80 degrees, west winds increasing 10-15 mph during the afternoon with gusts near 25 mph possible. As a Pacific storm rolls inland across the Pac NW through the weekend, tighter onshore gradients will generate gusty west winds to around 30 mph at times as highs cool to the 60s. Overnight temperatures could also dip well below average with lows in the 30s. Troughing will remain in place throughout much of next week maintaining the onshore flow for breezy afternoons and slightly below normal temperatures, gradually warming through July 4th weekend as this trough finally exits the region. Longer range advertises a good return of monsoon moisture the week after our Independence holiday, but still a long ways out.
