AVERAGE HIGH: 45 AVERAGE LOW: 28

RECORD HIGH: 62 – 2015 RECORD LOW: 6 – 1988

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 49 LOW: 34 PRECIPITATION: NONE

High pressure moving offshore will give us a light southwesterly flow of mild air, high temperatures will be around 5 degrees warmer than yesterday with readings in the mid 50s.

A weak warm front will give us a chance of mainly light showers Saturday afternoon and evening, highs again will be in the 50s.

Mainly dry on Sunday with high temperatures well up into the 50s with some spots will have a 60 degree reading. A cold front will come through dry in the late afternoon or evening.

Monday will be cooler and a weak low to our south may push far enough north to give us a chance of rain.

After a dry and cool Tuesday we will then watch a potential coastal storm for Wednesday that may give us snow or rain. Plenty of time to watch this system but at this time there is a chance of a significant snow storm especially over areas just to our north and west.
