Start of Fall forecast, Sunday Sept 22nd

Summer officially ended on a very cool to mild note as Pacific storms continue to roll in to the Pacific West Coast. Most of the wet stuff has stayed mainly to our north and we have ended up with lots of clouds, breezy winds and as mentioned cooler than normal temperatures. For Sunday, look for more clouds, especially along the coast and highs mainly in the 60's and 70's. Inland areas will see more sunshine and afternoon temps hovering in the 70's, 80's and even 90's.

Looking ahead, high pressure is starting to rebuild across a good portion of the west and this will lead to less ocean influence and warming as we head through early next week. Fall can bring us some of most beautiful and warm weather and that's what we see shaping up for much of the work week. Coastal fog will remain in play with day to day varying amounts and good clearing for afternoons. Temperatures will stay near normal for the coast with above normal highs expected inland. This means solid 90's and maybe a few low 100's. Our long range computers are in disagreement for the following weekend and that might be a bit of an understatement. One of our more consistent and reliable models is saying high pressure will hold firm and keep us on the warm side with ample sunshine. However, other forecast models are seeing a strong area of low pressure settling over the region and cooling things off with more clouds. We will take a middle approach and keep things in the mild to warm range. Of course, forecast models never stop doing their job and better consensus is ;likely as we head in to early next week. We will update accordingly and pass that on to you.
