.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 1234 PM PDT Sun Apr 14 2024

Light rain showers will continue through this evening over the
Central Coast and East Bay Hills, but will be isolated to scattered
at best. Overnight, temperatures will cool into the 40s for much of
the region with the coldest, wind sheltered spots and
highest elevations potentially dipping into the upper 30s.

Monday will feature mostly dry conditions with temperatures
rebounding closer to seasonal averages. Expect temperatures in the
mid 50s to lower 60s near the coast and mid 60s to upper 60s inland.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 1234 PM PDT Sun Apr 14 2024

A warming and drying trend is expected through mid-to-late week as
high pressure builds in from the west. By Wednesday and Thursday,
expect widespread 60s and 70s near the coast and lower 80s for more
interior areas. By Friday, the flow will become more zonal and
result in a cooling trend near the coast with a likely return of a
marine layer with the interior only cooling by a few degrees.

The 8-14 (April 22-28) Day Precipitation Outlook from the CPC favors
a 33-40% Probability of unsettled conditions returning to the region.
Stay tuned!
