Saturday will be the warmest day of the stretch, with afternoon highs ranging from the low to mid-80s away from the beaches — temperatures more typical of April than January. For comparison, the average high of 84 degrees is not usually reached until mid-April.

Cool, foggy night

What To Expect:

Patchy fog is possible late tonight through early Saturday morning. Temperatures will remain quite mild as well, as lows only fall into the upper 50s and low 60s.

Warm weekend

Warm temperatures and near-record highs will continue through the weekend. High temperatures will be around 10 degrees above average, nearing the mid 80s by Saturday. 

Mostly dry conditions continue as well until Sunday afternoon/evening. A break in the warm pattern finally arrives towards the end of this weekend and into early next week. 

Cold front moves in, rain possible

Looking Ahead:

Another round of weather whiplash is expected as a cold front moves in Sunday afternoon/evening. A few Sunday showers will be possible (20%) followed by high temperatures next week struggling to make it out of the 60s. Morning lows will be notably cooler as well, dipping into the upper 40s Monday morning. Once we factor in the winds gusting up to 20-25 mph, it will likely feel closer to the upper 30s and low 40s. 

Looking ahead into the middle of next week, a more active pattern does look to take shape. This will mean multiple rounds of scattered showers and the chance of a few storms by Wednesday and Thursday of next week. So far, a 40% chance of rain is expected. As we fine-tune the forecast, these numbers could change. Stay tuned!
