For the forecast, strong upper level ridge will bring sunny skies and warm temperatures to the area for today and into Saturday. A thermal trough will make for some summer like conditions and we should see a Northwesterly flow aloft. Onshore flow will bring some cloud to the area on Sunday into Monday with the chance of some isolated showers on Monday evening. Tuesday is looking unsettled with some showers before a stronger Pacific front arrives Wednesday with cooler wet weather and a good chance of some windy conditions into Thursday, with a Southwesterly flow aloft. GFS and ECMWF are in agreement with the forecast as of now.  Friday should see a weak ridge build, but more on that in next Fridays post.

    Strong upper level ridge on the coast.
