Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

A though of low pressure (“U” shape on the yellow line) marched to the south and east away from us allowing a high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on yellow line) to take over and bring us lots of sunshine for the rest of the weekend, then the chance of rain returns for the rest of the week. A frontal system moved to the east and south into northern California. Yet another frontal system will approach the coast, but it will slow down so we can have more sunshine. That frontal system will come ashore early in the week, as long as it doesn’t speed up a bit and start the rain earlier in the day Sunday.
