Temperatures will drop 5-15ºF on the coast and 10-20ºF inland day to day! That, and low clouds will return to the coast and may not let up throughout the day. We’ll have a similarly cool (and coastal cloudy) day on Thursday as the low passes by, then warm up a bit on Friday as the ridge nudges back in from the southwest.
