..Wednesday Afternoon - Monday

Precipitation tapers off on Wednesday and drier weather returns to the region as high pressure starts to build back in. Temperatures are forecast to warm to above normal for late February and early March climatology. High temperatures for the second half of this week and into early next week are expected to be generally in the 60s to 70s for the Valley and foothills and in the 50s to near 70 for the mountains. Cluster analysis and ensemble guidance then indicate an upper low approaching the Coast and moving into California. This will bring along the potential for very light showers mainly over higher terrain later in the weekend into early next week. Little to no impacts are expected from this precipitation.
