November 6, 2024 3:47 pm

Santa Ana winds peaked this morning but periods of strong and gusty north to northeast winds will continue into Thursday. The stronger gusts of 50 to 60 mph will be along and below the coastal slopes of the mountains. Very dry and much cooler for inland areas today followed by a gradual warming trend into the weekend, with high temperatures over the weekend mostly a few degrees below average. A low pressure system moving inland across California early next week will bring cooling, stronger and gusty west winds for the mountains and deserts, and a slight chance of showers for Monday night. Then dry and warmer for the middle of next week.

Heavy rain threat emerging over the interior Southeast late today into Thursday as tropical moisture associated with weak low over southeastern Gulf of Mexico lifts northward. Increasing threat for heavy snow to impact the central to southern Rockies and nearby High Plains through the next couple of days. Watching the Florida Keys for impacts associated with Hurricane Rafael forecast to pass not far too to the west tonight. Record warmth expected for the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England today.
