.SHORT TERM & LONG TERM...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 237 AM EST Sat Nov 7 2026
A fairly benign weather pattern is expected through the upcoming week with generally dry weather and more seasonable temperatures.
Offshore winds in the wake of yesterday's front are expected to generally continue well into next week, helping temperatures remain fairly steady with highs in the 70s and lows in the mid 40s to low 50s. The next system is forecast to approach the region mid to late week next week, and while there is still quite a bit of uncertainty on the timing, odds are that little to no rainfall will be expected along with it. Temperatures are forecast to further cool late in the week in response.

Issued at 237 AM EST Sat Nov 7 2026
