Weekend looking good....

Looking at the models here, high pressure will start building in later today and last through the weekend with much warmer and also drier conditions. And temps should warm up pretty nicely as we get E-SELY winds here at the surface with thicknesses getting into the lower 550`s and upper level heights in the mid-upper 550`s by late Sun into Mon. 850mb temps rising as well and look to be right around +8c. Looks like we stay dry, mild, and mostly sunny through about Tue as per the 00zEURO and GEM model due to split flow aloft with area of low pressure dropping south along the far off-shore waters of the west coast. However, this mornings 12NAM shows high clouds moving in early tomorrow afternoon with mid level clouds coming in during the evening hours. So this may prevent temps from getting to high, we`ll see.

And then for Wed into rest of the work week, it appears we return to our cool and wet, unsettled weather as clouds and showers return by Wed Morning with small trough dragging through for the Thurs/Fri period. And lastly, the Sat/Sun period looks fairly wet and cool with near zonal flow aloft with thicknesses lowering back to the lower 540`s to mid-upper 530`s.
