Low clouds will clear to sunshine by this afternoon, though uneven clearing near the coast, and it will be even warmer than yesterday. Today will be the warmest day of the week with highs 5 to 15 degrees above average away from the coast. Tomorrow will be nearly as warm with areas of dense morning fog once again.
Temperatures plummet 5 to 15 degrees by Wednesday with another 5 to 15 degree drop away from the coast on Thursday as a trough of low pressure dives south. This system will also bring gusty winds and a slight chance of light showers.
Clouds will build Wednesday ahead of the storm with drizzle to a few light showers possible Wednesday night through Thursday from the coast to the mountains, with the best chance Thursday morning. Accumulations will be light from a trace to a quarter of an inch.
Gusty winds will target the mountains and deserts building Wednesday into Thursday with westerly gusts of 25 to 50mph.
Sunshine returns on Friday with gradual warming each day into the weekend when we'll be back in the 60s at the coast, 70s inland, 60s in the mountains and 80s and 90s in the deserts.
Monday's Highs:
Coast: 63-68°
Inland: 74-81°
Mountains: 70-84°
Deserts: 96-99°
