FORECAST:

More of the same, unsettled weather with periods of moisture for most of the week. Hopefully a change by the weekend. An upper level trough will bring unsettled weather for today and Tuesday in a Southwest flow aloft, before a Pacific front brings rain for Wednesday. The low may bring more unseasonable moisture for Thursday into Friday, but here is a chance it may just be unsettled. Looking into next week there is a good chance of some ridging and warm temperatures.
