The first week of December is starting out as dry as November. We finished the month with less than 20% of our normal November rainfall. And there are no showers in the forecast for the coming week.
Instead, we'll start out dry and slightly cooler. The marine layer brought some patchy clouds to the coast and valleys on Tuesday mornings, and afternoon temperatures will be about 3-5 degrees cooler for most of the valleys.
The combination of higher-than-normal high tides and above-average surf will bring a slight chance of coastal flooding to our beaches Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service has issued a BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT through Tuesday morning. Hight tide will peak at 9:12 a.m. Tuesday.

For the second half of the week, we'll see a shift to a more offshore flow. Temperatures will warm up, with daytime highs over the inland valleys returning to the low 80s. Humidity levels will also be on the lower end, elevating our fire weather concern.
Also, there’s a good chance stargazers will be able to see Jupiter most of this week, especially from inland areas away from the clouds, and city lights. Like the moon, it rises at sunset and sets at sunrise.
