For the forecast, the upper ridge will maintain its dominance in the pattern but will begin to weaken slightly on Monday. We can expect a dry day with a strong Northerly flow aloft. The flow will flatten on Sunday then become offshore on Monday. There are some inconsistencies in the model runs for next week but as of now it looks like Tuesday will be unsettled and Wednesday as well. More on that as we get closer. Freezing level will rise from surface this morning to about 1400 meters this afternoon. It will drop down to surface again this evening then begin to rise for Sunday and Monday, remain well above the local peaks for that period. Should see a slow decline in the FL on Tuesday . Enjoy the sunshine.
