Looking at a cool fall weekend ahead with below-normal temperatures and increasing offshore winds. Lingering moisture from our departing low-pressure system will bring us partly cloudy skies today with highs in the lower to mid-50s, west to northwest winds also continuing at 10-15 mph. Skies will clear tonight, making for a chilly evening with lows dipping into the 20s. Expect a return to mostly sunny skies tomorrow with highs in the mid to upper 50s, northeast winds 5-10 mph, gusty below passes & canyons. Our weather looks pleasant through most of next week, with slightly warmer temperatures as highs return to normal with dry conditions through the middle of the week. Later in the week, another trough of low pressure is forecast to deepen off the West Coast, which will lead to an increasing chance of precipitation. There are still a lot of variables in question this far out, such as how deep the low goes and how much moisture this storm taps into, but this storm has the potential for some pretty soaking rains across the entire Southwestern region with relatively high snow levels. Stay tuned...
