.DISCUSSION...Daytime temperatures will remain much above average
through Saturday, with the warmer day today. Offshore winds
weaken, becoming west-northwest this afternoon. Onshore flow will
bring marine moisture aiding in increasing overnight RH recovery
values tonight into Saturday. Rain chances return Saturday as a
cold front arrives and quickly cools temperatures back down.
Unsettled weather will remain through the weekend as a trough
progresses through. Winds may be breezy Sunday with the passing of
the trough.
