Much of the upcoming week will be dominated by quiet and cool weather thanks to a large high pressure area.

The cold front that produced severe weather on Saturday and a cool but beneficial rainfall on Sunday has pushed offshore and high pressure will build in bringing drier air in along with temperatures that are below normal for today and Tuesday. Things could get a little complicated for part of the region for Wednesday. An area of low pressure will pass well offshore, but the precipitation shield around the edge of the system could get close to parts of the South Coast, possibly even a little farther northward. However, the high to the north looks like it may remain strong enough to keep most of the rain offshore, so we’re going to lean towards a dry forecast for now. High pressure returns for the end of the week and start of the weekend. A cold front will move through with little fanfare on Sunday, keeping us dry.
