A stronger front will arrive on Saturday into Sunday, bringing 24 to 48 hours of cooler, unsettled weather. This is as a strong jet stream consolidates over the northeast Pacific and takes aim at Oregon and northern California. Details are still being worked in the models as to exact timing, but breezy and cooler weather should be expected. It will also bring some mountain snow to the passes, at around 4,500 feet. Rain chances will likely continue into Monday morning.
A high-pressure ridge looks to build across the West Coast as we head into the middle of next week bringing back warm, dry, and sunny conditions. Some models have highs in the upper 70s and low 80s.
