The week ahead will remain generally quiet, but we’ll start to turn warmer later this week as high pressure ridges in aloft. Slight shower and storm chances return to the area for the weekend, particularly on Sunday.
For Monday, though, another generally nice day is in the offing with lows starting in the low-to-mid-60s, warming to the low 80s under generally partly cloudy skies. We could see a brief uptick in cloud cover midday, along with even a slight shower chance, but most of us stay dry. One last round of minor coastal flooding will be possible downtown as well during the afternoon high tide, but this will be the last of this long stretch of coastal flood days as water levels generally calm down.
Low pressure will stay to the north Tuesday and Wednesday, keeping us within dry northwesterly flow to make for a few more nice days. Ridging aloft begins to build in Wednesday through Friday, and we’ll also start to see dewpoints begin to creep up as well as the low-level flow turns more onshore. This will yield highs in the mid-80s each afternoon starting Wednesday, and lows creeping back into the upper 60s by Friday…
