An upper level high pressure ridge (shaded “Arch”shape) gave us plenty of sun and warm temperatures, but a low pressure area (shaded flattened out “Crescent” shape) that’s been sitting offshore is sliding eastward through California south of us giving us a chance of showers. A frontal system broke apart and slid south of us just like the last one did.
