Back-to-back Mondays with pleasant temperatures, sunny skies and highs at or near 80 degrees around the area. We will certainly take that with no regrets. Today, however, it is back to the sweatshirts and maybe rain jackets as a cold trough of low pressure slides in.
I don’t expect heavy rain, but that kind of nuisance stuff: a period of steady rain and then scattered showers. Although we will maintain a westerly flow all week, other weather systems out in the Pacific are slated to go by to our north, so after Wednesday it may be a safe bet we remain dry.
That is always subject to change, as it wouldn’t take much for one system to drop far enough south to give us some drips and drizzle. The weekend wasn’t all that bad; the chance of showers Saturday fizzled out, and we were treated to some fair weather. At the coast, skies were clear and sunny. A nice day.
A warm front moved through Sunday, but mostly clouds and sprinkles were the fashion of the day. Not a washout. We did manage a few hundredths of an inch, but that was all.
