With a general light northerly to variable air flow, expect daily sea breezes and cooler conditions in coastal areas while inland locations see a slow daily warming trend. By Sunday and Monday, the block will have weakened enough to allow features to move from west to east once again, but this means the first of a series of low pressure areas will begin to impact the region on Sunday when rain chances increase. How much rain is able to get into the region Sunday will depend on how much dry air there is to battle. While I&#8217;m not seeing anything that resembles a heavy rain event, I do expect it to be rather overcast and damp with some rain Sunday into Monday. Any rain we can get will be welcomed as we are running a precipitation deficit of a few to several inches for the year-to-date, are teetering on the edge of a drought again, and continue to see high fire danger with dry ground and the area still pre-leafout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Variably cloudy morning. Mostly sunny afternoon. Highs 50-57 coast, 58-65 inland. Wind N up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes by noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Fog patches interior lower elevations. Lows 37-44. Wind calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs 52-59 coast, 60-67 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Interior lower elevation ground for forming. Lows 38-45. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 55-62 coast, 63-70 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 42-49. Wind SE under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Cloudy. Areas of drizzle and fog developing. Chance of rain. Highs 48-55 coast, 56-63 inland. Wind SE to E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain possible. Areas of fog and drizzle. Lows 45-52. Wind E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog and drizzle. Periods of rain possible. Highs 48-55, coolest coastal areas.

For us this means no big warm ups but also not that cold, and somewhat unsettled weather, but more in the form of occasional showers with spokes of energy rotating about the larger upper level system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only very little change to the overall pattern at most, with possibly a slow eastward drift to the overall set-up again, which may put our area back under a high pressure ridge with more dry weather, cool nights, cool coast &amp; warm inland days.
