.Forecast Summary...High pressure will dominate the weather pattern through the early next week. As a result, we can expect temperatures to run well above seasonal norms with breezy afternoon winds and dry conditions through the early part of next week. A trough of low pressure begins to develop off the West Coast on Monday; the pressure gradient will tighten and generate gusty southwesterly winds for Tuesday and Wednesday, with the possibility for a few showers towards the end of next week.
