A Little Excitement Possible Early Next Week

Today is nice. As should be Saturday. Expect Sunday to be cooler, with increasing clouds, some winds and a chance of showers by evening. Showers should be mostly light, with the heaviest in the north bay, and mostly abating by the Monday morning commute. A second stronger storm should descend on the area by late Monday and into Tuesday. This storm will have more wind and rain, but may remains north of the Bay Area, with showers brushing through Marin. Still, if this system digs another 100 miles further south, we could have fairly strong, if brief, rains.

After that, the week returns to warmer and calmer weather. Highs should be back in the low 70s by Tuesday. Daily highs to increase as the week progresses with possible 80s by Friday.

Long Term models are suggesting a number of large troughs running into the Pacific North West next week and the following week. These progressively dig further south with each system So there remains a chance of rain into mid and late May.

Some snow in the mountains early next week. I have heard the corn has been epic this past week. A nice south swell started hitting the central coast yesterday, although a strong north west flow is ripping apart most breaks outside of Santa Cruz. Love Apple Farm is still selling tomatoes (now in 1 gallon pots).

I'll try to keep ya'll posted if there is any interesting weather happening, but as we roll into summer, it is mostly sun, sun, sun. Unless you live in SF, then you can expect cool, damp and foggy.
