It will be chilly and dry Friday morning, and then another sunny afternoon. High temperatures will be slightly cooler on Friday with coastal areas staying mostly in the low 60s and inland communities in the low 70s. The air is still very dry, and relative humidity will drop down into to around 5%-15% in the far east county.
That dry air is on its way out for the weekend. A powerful storm, tapping into an atmospheric river is bringing very heavy snow to the northern part of the state. That storm will begin to drop south on Friday, but lose most of its steam along the way.
We’re still on track for some cool and cloudy weather this weekend but rainfall potential has backed off. Not everyone will likely see rain from this next system and the amounts will be pretty light. Rain chances remain for Saturday night through early Sunday, and then a second chance late Monday into Tuesday morning.
