Deep, cool southwest flow will continue for the next day or so with a trough of low pressure moving through. Enhanced lift and upslope flow will squeeze drizzle (at time bordering on light rain) from the clouds in the Santa Cruz Mountains with patchy drizzle possible elsewhere. This southwesterly flow will be gusty at times at the surface and will likely once again clear out the southeast corner of Monterey Bay during the afternoon Tuesday. Winds will ease a bit on Wednesday with temperatures warming slightly, but a few more coastal sprinkles will be possible. The trough then passes by into Thursday with flow switching to the northwest. This northwest flow may then produce some drizzle on the south/west sides of the bay Thursday and there will be a slight chance of a shower over the inland hills. A perhaps better, but not great chance of rain will come on Friday as a weather system passes through from the northwest. While we’ll be on the “dry side,” there still should be some showers in our vicinity.
