The outlook for the coming week was essentially done in the previous blog, but here I will recap that, adjust for timing for a later frontal approach (lessening the chance of showers\/storms during Tuesday), and adding a day 7 (next Sunday).<\/p>\n
High pressure overhead provides a mostly clear and cool night tonight with only some high clouds drifting down from the north on the east side of an upper level high pressure ridge center to the west of the region. The surface high that has been overhead will settle to the south and southeast of the area Monday and Tuesday, allowing for a warm southwesterly flow to become established. This will provide a taste of Summer, especially away from the South Coast where the air will be modified by the cooler ocean waters nearby. A cold front will approach the region late Tuesday but should hold back long enough to\u00a0 keep the chance of showers and thunderstorms away until sometime Tuesday night, possibly late. A later arrival of the front would also diminish the chance of stronger storms. This front will be in the area early Wednesday with showers and a chance of thunderstorms, but should start to push offshore during the day with less showers, but lots of clouds lingering and cooler air arriving. Upper level low pressure may hold clouds as the dominant factor Thursday and even into Friday as it is slow to exit, then later Friday it gets out of here and again we set up a ridge to the west, trough to the east pattern. This may allow some additional cloudiness to spill into the region from Canada for part of next weekend – a typical late Spring \/ early Summer set-up.<\/p>\n
