Seventy by Sunday.

Looks like we are in store for a warm up.  Amazing.  Before we get to that, let's talk about the rain.  We received over an inch of rain on Saturday, and a little bit more this morning.  West side locations recorded up to 1.25 inches since Friday.  That is quite a bit more than the half inch I was calling for. The coastal system rolled just enough onshore to give us a heavy hit yesterday.  To give you an idea of just how close to the edge we were, Tahoe resorts received from zero to four inches of snow, and it was only about 20F during the snowfall.  That is about up to two tenths of an inch of water.  Anyway, that system is south of us now.  Winds are still out of the south oddly enough.  Don't have the time to dig into that.

It looks like we are going to see a big change in the weather pattern.  Sun is out this afternoon and Monday looks like it will be quite clear.  It will be cold to start.  About 40F on the coast.  It will be warm in the afternoon though.  With the sun on us, it will feel even warmer than 60F.  We will see a storm drop out of the north on Tuesday, staying mostly north of us.  It will bring a cld front, some wind, and a threat of showers.  Ultimately it will be cooler, and will have more cloud cover.  Tuesday will be the roughest day of the week.

The storm moves out by Wednesday, and sun returns.  We will get some for real high pressure and a warming trend.  We should be back into the low 60s by Thursday or Friday and could be hitting 70F by Sunday or Monday.  Woot woot folks.  It is going to be pretty awesome next weekend. Break out your beach gear.
