Sunday March 9th looks nice, but there is rain the forecast

Beautiful weather has returned as high pressure temporarily keeps a very active Pacific Storm track at bay. Look for another cool overnight with mostly clear skies. Patchy fog is possible as winds will be very light and with the falling temperatures, low lying areas that trap moisture could see a few clouds develop. Look for lows to dip in to the 50's and 40's. For Sunday, expect another nice day with sunny skies and the morning chill giving way to afternoon highs in the low to mid 60's.

Looking ahead, more clouds will begin to roll in off the ocean by Monday leading to our next chance for rain on Tuesday. At this time, it appears that the first wave from this next system will actually slide a bit further south and possibly miss most of Central California as it hits more head on in Southern California and Baja. This means rain totals will be very light at best through Tuesday before the second shot of rain arrives by mid week. This one is showing a very strong likelihood of hitting us more head on and that means heavier showers through Thursday before weakening and pushing east of us. However, there will still be lingering pockets of moisture and chilly air streaming in from the north keeping us under a threat for showers right in to and maybe even beyond next weekend. Despite our confidence in the forecast models, details with regard to exact timing and daily intensity will likely change. We will update frequently as our forecast model runs come in to the station. For now, Wednesday and Thursday appear to be our biggest potential concern for any significant weather related problems. Again, we will stay on top of things and update frequently both hear and on broadcast channels.
