Saturday’s weather was picture perfect in my book and just about as normal as one can get in July. Normal is this case means highs around 78 degrees and no rain. We will have another round of normal today before things begin to deteriorate.
The upcoming week looks like we will be dominated by an upper low off the coast bringing periods of clouds to us and drizzle along the coast. Inland, expect morning clouds and afternoon sunshine, but not much of that sunshine some days. So overall, cooler and cloudier than normal.
