⚠️ Key Notes
🍂 A transition toward more fall-like weather is expected to begin around Wednesday. Daytime highs should steadily fall from the upper 80s and low 90s early this week toward the low 80s and potentially upper 70s later in the week. Lower humidity should make the change feel even more noticeable as we officially transition into fall.
🌧️ The Climate Prediction Center's latest seasonal outlook favors above-normal precipitation across portions of the Coastal Empire. This provides additional support for the wetter pattern highlighted in our preliminary winter outlook. While seasonal outlooks cannot predict individual storms or guarantee a cool and wet winter, the broader guidance continues to support increased chances for wetter-than-normal conditions across our region this winter.
