Small pockets of light rain may linger for the remainder of the overnight to around sunrise with only traces to a few hundredths expected where it does rain. Otherwise we'll begin to dry out in the wake of the upper low now exiting east of our area. However, temperatures today will continue to be 5-10 degrees below normal for most locations under a a mix of Sun and clouds this afternoon with some breezy northwest winds up to 25mph through the Salinas Valley and interior higher elevations of the East Bay Hills and Santa Clara Hills.

Zonal flow into the weekend will transition to weak progressive ridging for Sunday into the beginning of next week when temperatures return closer to normal. Guidance has been struggling with a developing upper level low moving out of the Gulf of Alaska late next week. Consensus seems to be improving toward another trough at our latitude for the end of next week into next weekend with what appears to be little to no impactful weather hazards. Temperatures appear to remain right around to slightly above normal through most next week before the trough brings another round of cooler temperatures, with what appears to be mostly dry conditions attm.

Clearing skies are expected through the afternoon with some lingering stratus possible at the coast and higher elevations. Light winds prevail through the morning with breezy onshore winds developing in the afternoon. Stratus returns to the inland regions late this evening as the winds diminish.
