Weak high pressure rebuilds over the area today bringing slightly warmer temperatures this afternoon for the interior. Most interior areas will see highs in the 90s with a stray triple digit possible for the warmest valleys. A deep marine layer continues to bring stratus deep inland into the river valleys, however high pressure will make this slightly shallower than previous days. Breezy coastal winds this afternoon are likely to scatter any remaining stratus bringing a mostly clear, but breezy, Sunday afternoon at the coast with 60s and possibly near 70s possible for the immediate coast.

Monday through the middle of the week, a trough starts to approach the area bringing slightly cooler interior temperatures along with a deeper marine layer. Light winds offshore may lead to coastal stratus to be persistent into the afternoons. Moisture and instability is limited with this troughing pattern, which will limit thunderstorm potential. Generally mild, seasonable weather is likely for much of the next week.
