Cooler, fall-like conditions will return for the remainder of the week as low pressure deepens off the Pacific Northwest coast. This will help maintain a drier southwest onshore flow into Southern California, resulting in periods of gusty west winds along with temperatures running slightly below normal. At the same time, low pressure off the Central Baja coast will direct a tropical system northward over the Gulf of California. Unfortunately, most of its moisture will be directed into Arizona, leaving us high and dry for now. For this evening, expect clear skies and light winds, with overnight lows falling into the 40s. Tomorrow will be mostly sunny, breezy, and a bit cooler, with highs in the lower 70s. West winds of 10–15 mph are expected during the afternoon, with gusts up to 20 mph possible. Little change is expected through the end of the week as highs remain around 70 degrees each day with overnight lows in the 30s to lower 40s. Weak ridging aloft will return over the weekend, bringing fair and slightly warmer weather as daytime highs climb back into the mid-70s. Looking further ahead, forecast models are hinting at an upper-level low in our vicinity towards the middle of next week, potentially bringing some precipitation along with gusty west winds and cooler, more fall-like weather. While we enjoy our last week of summer, fall officially arrives at 5:04 PM next Tuesday!
