Forecast Discussion:

Satellite on this Friday morning shows an area of low pressure about 200 miles off the coast of Northern California. This system will drop down the coast today and tomorrow before moving into Arizona late Saturday through the first part of next week. As the system moves through the area, the best rain chances will be from Saturday evening through early Sunday morning. Slight rain chances will continue into Monday. As for rainfall totals, we are not expecting a lot, with most locations seeing 0.10 inches or less.

As the system approaches expect breezy winds to develop today with gusty south-southwest winds of 15-25mph, with higher gust possible tomorrow afternoon and evening. Afternoon high temperatures will also drop into the low 70s Sunday and Monday before high pressure builds back in starting Tuesday resulting in the start of a warming trend.

When it comes to air quality, we are forecasting ozone, PM-10, and PM-2.5 to be in the Good AQI category through the forecast period. As noted the past couple of days, we may see some isolated pockets of dust with the strongest winds on Saturday; however, not expecting a widespread event, and any dust that is kicked up should be settled by the rain.

Have a great weekend!
