(This evening through next Saturday) WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Skies are mostly sunny this afternoon. This is due to upper level ridging along the western coast of the United States.

High temperatures will gradually warm to the 60s by Monday and Tuesday with overnight lows in the 20s and 30s. Winds will be light. The ridge axis is expected to flatten on Monday and Tuesday. Quiet and dry weather will continue during this time with light winds. But by Thursday, the ridge axis will be shifting to the east. Strong winds is expected to develop out of the south and southwest at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph in the afternoon. Highs will be in the 60s. Isolated to scattered showers will also develop in the afternoon. Light showers will continue into the overnight with lows in the 30s. An upper level low pressure system will traverse the region Friday and Saturday, leading to cooler temperatures and periods of light precipitation. Highs will be in the 50s with lows in the 20s and 30s. Winds will be breezy both afternoons. FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: No changes have been made to the current NBM forecast. Confidence remains high through mid-week with confidence tailing off rapidly due to timing and strength differences with the upcoming storm system on Thursday through next weekend. && .AVIATION...VFR conditions for the next 24 hours. && .LKN Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
