Tomorrow (Tuesday): I expect a probability of 10 out of 10 on the daily number. It’s a gorgeous day with bright sunshine, low humidity and highs in the mid to upper 70s. The wind will be northwesterly, light, at a speed of 5 to 10 knots per hour. Confidence: high
Tomorrow night: Clear and cool. Lows range from the upper 40s in our cooler areas to the mid to upper 50s downtown. Confidence: high
The picture continues in perfect weather Wednesday to Friday. We will have partly sunny skies all three days with highs very near 80. Wednesday and Thursday nights are clear and comfortably cool, with lows in the 50s to near 60. Clouds will likely increase Friday night, with lows near 60. Confidence . : Average height
It’s a pretty good bet that there is a coastal low pressure area attracting clouds and moisture overhead weekend. But it is too early to know where, when and how much rain will fall. Right now, the best forecast we can offer is for cloudy skies and a chance of rain on both days. Highs will likely be around 70 (but can be lower if rain is steady, or higher if no rain is falling) with lows near 60. Confidence: Low-Medium
