SYNOPSIS

17/1018 PM.

Warmer temperatures are expected this week with some locally breezy Santa Ana winds Monday morning. The warmest day will be Wednesday with slow cooling the rest of the week along with a return of night and morning low clouds and fog.

LONG TERM (THU-SUN)

17/1006 AM.

Look for a benign upper level pattern to return Thursday and continue through Saturday. At the same time onshore flow will increase some each day. This will reinvigorate the marine layer stratus and most csts and some vlys will wake up to clouds each morning. Winds will not be an issue. Max temps will fall 3 to 6 degrees across the csts/vlys on Thursday. All areas will see 3 to 4 degrees of cooling Friday. Saturday's cooling of 1 to 2 degrees will bring max temps down into the upper 60s through the upper 70s across the csts and vlys.
