Cloudy, Slightly Cooler

Yesterday's high of 72 was the warmest temperature since November 15, but don't get used to the warmth because cold air is poised to return to the state this week. A cold front swept through the state earlier this morning and was accompanied by some light to moderate rainfall. Although we experienced a frontal passage, temperatures will not be extremely cold due to the Pacific origin of the air mass. However, extensive cloud cover in the wake of the frontal passage will ensure that highs top out around 59 this afternoon. Clouds don't look to break up very much, if at all, tonight. The pressure gradient will tighten after 9 p.m. and winds could gust over 20 mph at times through sunrise. Lows tomorrow morning will be near 39. Enjoy today because it could be the last mild day for possibly a week and a half. Starting Wednesday, highs will be much below normal for the foreseeable future.
