Overall Setup
Who’s to blame for the above average temperatures and lack of rain? That would be the large area of ridging and high pressure that has moved into our region. Given that we are directly under a surface high pressure, and not in the gradient between a high and a low pressure system, our winds will be fairly calm over the next few days. As Noah said in his post, calm winds and overall milder than normal temperatures in the AM hours will lead to some patchy fog tomorrow and Saturday. By the time Sunday comes, winds should pick up again and prevent fog from forming.
Tonight’s Forecast
Our overnight low temperatures will reach the low-to-mid 50s, with some high 40s possible further from the coast. Skies are looking clear with no chance of rain, just that patchy fog after midnight, so be careful if you will be driving through it.
Tomorrow’s Forecast: Friday, November 14
Temperatures are continuing above average for this time of year with highs in the upper 70s and perhaps a few 80s in some spots. Our average high is near and around 70 degrees, so we’re about 10 degrees or so above that average. Aside from the warmer than desired temperatures for our fall lovers, no weather impacts are in the forecast – just some partly cloudy skies!
Weekend Forecast: Saturday, November 15 & Sunday, November 16
The weekend is looking clear as can be, with abundant sunshine on Saturday. Clouds try to fill in for Sunday, but there will still be plenty of sun. Sunday is currently looking to be slightly warmer than Saturday, with highs in the lower 80s. Enjoy your weekend, and dress for summer during the daytime! Maybe bring the jacket for the mornings.
Extended Local Outlook
Looking ahead, we are looking at the potential for some rain and thunderstorms mid-to-late week next week. A low pressure systen could pass through and bring some heavy rain, at that. We are still about a week out, so we will keep you updated by the day.
The warm trend does not seem to let up on the 6-10 day outlook OR on the temperature probability chart that Nick has made. We’re very likely going to stay above average for this time of year through about Thanksgiving. Confidence drops after that, but the pattern still leans warmer than colder for the near future.
