Snow Reporter Comments: Last updated: Monday, January 19 at 5:36AMForecasts are calling for above normal temperatures and dry conditions continue. Temperatures will gradually cool later in the week as high pressure weakens and the onshore flow returns. Low pressure that was possible later in the week appears to remain offshore, so we'll stay dry through at least next weekend, with possibly some changes towards the end of the month, later next week. Expect mostly clear skies through MLKing day with just a few high clouds and light offshore winds. Daytime temperatures will once again top out around 60 degrees. A few degrees cooler through midweek as we transition to more of an onshore flow with gusty west winds 10-20 mph at times. Highs should drop back into the mid-50s midweek, cooling to the lower 50s by the end of the week, with overnight lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s.
