SYNOPSIS

30/757 PM.

Warm and dry conditions can be expected through most of next week. There will be some coastal low clouds and fog, but otherwise, skies will remain mostly clear. There will be gusty north winds through Sunday night and gusty onshore winds through most of next week.

LONG TERM (WED-SAT)

30/1242 PM.

High pressure aloft will continue to steadily climb through Wednesday and Thursday, before slowly lowering into the weekend. While some uncertainty exists in the exact temperatures, confidence is high that Wednesday and Thursday will be the warmest days over the interior, as temperatures will likely top out between 90 and 100 degrees. On the coastal side of the mountains temperatures will remain warm-ish but look to drop some from the Monday peak as we head towards the end of the week thanks to the strengthening onshore flow. The magnitude of that cooling will depend on the extent of the marine layer coverage. But this trend also looks locked in as all the ensembles show strengthening onshore pressure gradients to the north and east through the week. Heat Advisories and Warnings through the period remain unlikely. Gusty onshore winds should be expected over the interior sections through the end of the week.
