Nice weather will continue throughout the week with warmer temperatures and dry conditions through at least the weekend. A surface ridge will settle over the area today, bringing mostly sunny skies with highs in the lower 50s this afternoon. Clear and cool tonight as lows drop into the mid to lower 20s. Fair and a little warmer tomorrow through the end of the week with occasional high clouds as daytime temperatures reach the mid to upper 50s, while overnight lows cool to the 20s and lower 30s. Winds will remain mostly light and variable through the period, around 5-10 mph. Little change over the weekend, if not warmer as highs get up around 60 degrees, gradually cooling next week as the onshore flow strengthens. At this time, unfortunately, our longer-range guidance keeps Southern California on the dry side into the first week of February.
