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. Expect mostly clear skies this evening with west winds 5-10 mph as temperatures remain mild with a low near 50°. Mostly sunny and breezy on Thursday with a high near 80 degrees, west winds increasing 10-15 mph during the afternoon with gusts near 25 mph possible. As this Pacific storm rolls into the Pac NW Friday through the weekend, tighter onshore pressure 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. Forecast models still diverge a bit next week between continued troughing and weak ridging aloft. Regardless, temperatures will warm slightly next week, but will still be a few degrees below average, with gusty west winds continuing in the afternoons. Additional warming is likely later in the week, leading up to our Independence holiday, but subject to change based on this pesky trough.
