This forecast discussion was created in the public domain by the National Weather Service. It can be found in its original form here.
SYNOPSIS
High pressure will continue to dominate the region over the next week, bringing warmer than average weather with minor day to day changes. This will keep the marine layer thin, leading to low clouds and fog near the coast, where the fog may be locally dense over the next couple of nights/mornings.
Previous discussion (146 PM Friday)
The ongoing active troughing pattern in the Gulf of Alaska and off the Pacific Northwest will begin to weaken this area of high pressure by the middle and end of next week. This will bring greater onshore flow and subtle cooling to our region, but dry weather will continue. Long-range ensemble models increase chances for the trough to push further south, where chances for precipitation may increase toward the Christmas holiday.
