FORECAST:
A broad weak upper trough will bring a mix of sun and cloud for today in a South-South West flow aloft. Still smoke in the air at lower elevations so the visibility is limited. May see a shower today in the mix with increasing cloud cover later today. Unsettled weather is expected for most of the week. Some rain should arrive Tuesday with unsettled weather but models are not in agreement so time will tell. Wednesday looks similar with a mixed bag. May dry out Thursday with some showers as the next low moves down the coast. Not sure how potent the trough will be over the weekend as models are not in agreement. The European model is forecasting wetter conditions. So much for the nice summer weather! Ridge may rebuild by Monday of next week. Guesstimates: 0-trace mm by Tuesday am, 1-3 mm by Wednesday am, 3-5 mm by Thursday am, 0-trace by Friday am, 1-3 mm by Saturday am, 1-3 mm by Sunday am.
