Enjoyed a nice finish to our week today with locally breezy conditions and cooler temperatures expected through the weekend. Westerly winds will continue 10-20 mph with gusts near 30 mph possible at times as a Pacific storm moves inland across the Pacific Northwest. Daytime highs will drop into the 60s as overnight lows even dip into the 30s. This trough will slowly exit the region next week, allowing high pressure to slowly build back in from the east. This will lead to a gradual warming trend next week with temperatures returning to normal towards the end of the week, even nearing 80 degrees again by July 4th! At this time, conditions look dry through the Independence holiday, with still signs we could see a return of monsoon moisture shortly thereafter.
Due to strong winds across the high desert, the San Bernardino Mtns remain on a PSPS alert and subject to power interruptions throughout the weekend, until winds subside early next week. As a result, data and webcams may be intermittently down this weekend.
