Enjoying nice summer weather out there, with slightly above-normal temperatures and dry conditions for another day or two. A late-season trough of low pressure will push into the West Coast this weekend, spreading cooler temperatures and gusty west winds into the area. Mostly sunny and breezy on Thursday with a high around 80 degrees, west winds increasing 10-15 mph during the afternoon with gusts near 25 mph possible. As a Pacific storm rolls inland across the Pac NW this weekend, tighter onshore pressure gradients will generate gusty west winds to 30 mph at times as highs cool to the 60s. Overnight temperatures could also dip well below average with lows in the 30s. Forecast models still diverge a bit next week, juggling between a trough and weak ridging aloft. Regardless, temperatures will warm slightly next week, but still a few degrees below average, with gusty west winds continuing during the afternoons. Additional warming is likely later in the week, leading up to our Independence holiday, but subject to change based on this pesky trough.
