A cooling trend will continue through mid week as an approaching storm brings a return to onshore flow. Light to moderate rain is expected late Monday into Tuesday, focused over San Luis Obispo County with minimal impacts. Widespread gusty west to northwest winds will follow Wednesday through Friday.

Pacific system will bring increasing precipitation chances to the West Coast the next couple of days with locally heavy lower elevation rain and heavy snow for the Sierra. A lingering frontal boundary will bring daily thunderstorm chances to portions of Texas with isolated flash flooding possible. Widespread well above average temperatures for the Interior West into the Plains while much of the eastern U.S. remains colder following a frontal passage this weekend.
