A gradual warming and drying trend is forecast over the next few days as high pressure over builds westward over the Four Corners region. However, a modest marine layer is forecast to persist and result in cooler conditions near the coast. Near the coast, temperatures are forecast to be in the 60s to low 70s, bayshore and coastal valleys are likely to warm into the low 70s to low 80s, and mid 80s to low 90s across the far interior. Breezy onshore winds are expected each afternoon and evening with gusts to between 20-30 mph in the favored gaps/passes and down the Salinas Valley.
Tonight, expecting another round of drizzle and/or mist along the coast and in the favored upslope coastal regions of the Bay Area. Temperatures will largely cool into the 50s to low 60s. As stratus retreats to the coastline by mid-to-late morning and early afternoon on Sunday, expecting temperatures to be a few degrees warmer than Saturday afternoon.

A more notable warming and drying trend will begin on Tuesday as the mid/upper level ridge builds further to the west and spreads over the Desert Southwest. However, lingering troughiness off of the Pacific Northwest will maintain a shallow marine layer and afternoon temperatures slightly below average throughout much of next week. Overnight/morning minimum temperatures will be near normal. Above the marine layer's influences, dry conditions are expected especially Tuesday and beyond.
