SYNOPSIS

20/258 AM.

A drying trend will continue to establish today, but a cold air mass will grip the area today. After a chilly start to the day on Saturday, a warming trend will take shape through the weekend. Temperatures will remain below normal into Saturday but then warm above normal on Sunday. Chances for rain next week continue to fade with an upper-level trough likely taking a track into northern California.

LONG TERM (MON-THU)

20/240 AM.

Offshore flow will firmly establish between Sunday night and Monday and continue a warming trend into early next week. Temperatures will warm well above of seasonal normals for early next week with a few locations possibly breaking the 80 degree mark.

The precipitation chances for next week continue to fade as the ensembles continue to trend farther to the north with the atmospheric river system. WPC cluster analysis keeps some clusters with broad precipitation across the area, but about only 30 percent of solutions that have a wet result over the region. With the ridge aloft starting to win the battle, temperatures could end up warming additionally next week.
