Much excitement in the weather world regarding Tropical Storm Marie well south of Cabo, which is forecast to become a hurricane over the next coupe of days. This system will likely spin harmlessly out to sea, but could send some moisture in our direction for the holiday weekend. At this time, a trough continues to deepen off the West Coast, leading to our first cool-down in a while with temperatures falling 5 degrees below average this week. Mostly sunny, breezy, and tad cooler today with highs in the lower 70s. West winds 10-20 mph could gust to near 30 mph during the afternoon, with stronger gusts on the desert slopes. Daytime temperatures will remain in the lower 70s through the end of the week, with overnight lows generally in the 50s, continued breezy during the afternoons as the onshore flow persists. Whatever comes of that tropical system in the Pacific will track northwestward off the coast of Baja and likely turn westward out to sea towards the weekend. At the same time, low pressure off the West Coast will likely sling some of its moisture in our direction, with showers and thunderstorms possible over Labor Day weekend, especially over the mountains and deserts. Additional cooling is expected this weekend as well as daytime highs drop into the 60s, potentially making for a cool and wet unofficial ending to our summer season. Will fine-tine the forecast for the weekend throughout the week, so check back for the latest details!
