Ben's Weather Forecast Updated: Sunday, Nov 18 @ 10:55pm |
| Looking at a nice start to the week as temperatures remain close to normal with highs reaching the lower 50's both Monday and Tuesday, while overnight lows generally cool to the 20's, southwest winds gusting 10-20mph at times with occasional high clouds. A trough of low-pressure is forecast approach the west coast midweek, moving inland across northern portions of the state Wednesday into Thursday. A stronger onshore flow combined with a weakening cold front should bring an increase in clouds and gusty winds Wednesday night into early Thursday with a chance of showers. While the brunt of this storm heads north, there's still increasing potential we could experience some light rain or snow for the Thanksgiving Holiday. At this time, it doesn't look we'll receive significant precip, but the potential is there for icy roadways with upwards of a quarter inch of rain on the lower coastal slopes and a dusting of snow, possibly an inch or two by Thanksgiving morning, be prepared! A cool onshore flow will persist over the holiday weekend, keeping temperatures below normal with a slight chance of showers at times, mainly late Fri/Sat and sometime next week, generally light amounts are expected. Last year we were basking in sunshine for the Thanksgiving Holiday with temperatures nearing 70-degrees, in contrast, expect below normal temps and possible snow showers later this week. With the potential for some winter weather ahead, it's a good reminder to winterize your vehicle and carry tire chains; always be ready for winter weather driving conditions! |
