Here we are again facing another weekend and wondering will we have sunshine? I can tell you it will be our third dry weekend in a row. Skies overhead will be clear as high pressure shunts weather systems away from us. The only factor will be fog that forms overnight Friday through Sunday, will it clear?
I was hoping for a little easterly winds to develop, but there may be a lack of pressure differences to cause the lower atmosphere to mix up. Otherwise, we will go for night and morning fog with mostly sunny afternoons the next several days. Sounds good to me. Looking at weather charts, however, we may slip into another inversion pattern where it is beautiful sunny weather above a thousand feet and socked in here at city levels.
Keep positive, we only have to deal with fog overnight and we get a break, we deserve one I think. Besides the guarantee of sunny skies at higher elevations will be the northern Oregon Coast and the Long Beach Peninsula. Skies will be sunny and highs near 60 degrees and light winds. About as pleasant as it gets even in summertime at the coast. So, if the fog and low clouds tend to hang around, you have choices this weekend.
We’ll have clouds and light rain today and after that be prepared for seven days with no rain. That takes us to this time next week. Imagine that in January? On a bright note, the sun will set at 5 p.m. this evening, making it another positive milestone. The days are getting longer.
