The coast and valleys will cool a few degrees on Tuesday, then warm a few degrees for Wednesday and Thursday with night and morning coastal low clouds spreading into portions of the valleys late each night. A low pressure system moving into the western states will bring a cooling trend for Friday through next weekend with high temperatures for next Sunday falling to a few degrees below average to around 5 degrees below average for the valleys.

Deepening of the marine layer will bring a few degrees of cooling for the coast and valleys on Tuesday with most areas a few to around 5 degrees warmer on Wednesday. Wednesday high temperatures will be a few degrees above average for the coast and valleys with the deserts and lower elevations of the mountains 5 to locally 10 degrees above average.
