SYNOPSIS
High pressure will begin to regain control of the area. Temperatures rebound today with warmer and drier conditions likely early to mid this coming week.
KEY MESSAGES
- Warming trend for the interior returns today and will continue into next week.
- Troughing to the north of the area on Tuesday could bring additional chances of interior thunderstorms.
DISCUSSION
High pressure more firmly sets in over Northwest California today. High temperatures rise into the high 80s and 90s over interior areas. Temperatures continue to rise into early this coming week with triple digits possible for the warmest valleys by Monday. This warming trend is likely to continue through at least mid week.
Troughing to the north of the area on Tuesday could bring additional chances of interior thunderstorms. Confidence is not high as instability and moisture currently look meager, but this will need to be watched. Otherwise, dry and warm interior conditions are likely for much of this coming week week.

AVIATION
MVFR to IFR/LIFR stratus will continue to fill in along the coast affecting the coastal terminals. Stratus will be more shallow early this morning, keeping lower ceilings/visibilities closer to the coast. There could be some clearing this afternoon/evening before stratus restrengthens overnight tonight. Stratus is not expected to move up the Russian River Valley into KUKI this morning.
MARINE
Northerly winds gradually increase today with near-gale force gusts likely in the lee of Cape Mendocino and Cape Blanco by this afternoon. Seas that are currently dominated by a diminishing mid period NW swell of around 5 to 7 ft will become more dominated by steep wind waves. Steep wind waves may propagate into the inner waters too, even as winds nearshore remain light. Winds diminish Monday into Tuesday, especially nearshore, but stronger winds return mid to late next week. JB
