Another warm up ahead, Monday Oct 12th forecast

An very dynamic and interesting weather day as two different systems move across the West Coast. All of our recent focus has centered around Tropical Cyclone Rachel, but Pacific cold front has also brought in cool and blustery weather from the north. Most areas did see a few clouds from Rachel as the ex hurricane weakens and slowly pushes to our northeast. Rain from that storm stayed pretty far to our south and again, our weather was more dominated by the cool, breezy to gusty winds coming in from the northwest. For the overnight and in to early Monday, we still have enough remnant moisture from Rachel to keep a light rain chance going through early Monday. It will stay on the cool to mild side and large surf from many different swells will keep our coastline under flood watch criteria through at least Monday.

Looking ahead, high pressure will quickly follow the cold mentioned above that will create a mild to moderate offshore flow by the middle of the work week. The dry and breezy northeasterly winds means we see temperatures quickly warming for the second half of the week. By Thursday, Friday and in to next weekend we will likely see our highs pushing well above normal with widespread 80's and even 90's. The very warm conditions could even last in to the start of the following week.
