Our stubborn ridge of high pressure remains anchored across the region, pushing temperatures 10-20 degrees above average. We have seen some relief near the coast as onshore flow returns with the late-night/early-morning coastal low clouds and fog. Conditions will remain warm inland, with highs in the mid-70s today through Friday, while overnight lows cool to the 30s and 40s. A weak trough sliding inland to our north on today may generate some gusty west winds 10-20 mph, especially during the afternoon. High pressure begins to weaken this weekend, which will lead to a gradual cooling trend into next week. We'll also see occasional high clouds, but no precipitation. A deeper trough of low pressure will develop off the West Coast next week, pulling highs back down closer to average, in the 50s and 60s. There's even a chance we could see some light showers around the middle of the week, but confidence is still low in the details at this time. Our ski and snowboard season is also winding down, Snow Summit closed this past weekend, Snow Valley the previous week, and Bear Mountain's last day of operation is today!
