After a record cool day — Wednesday’s high of 77° breaks the record low maximum temperature of 80° set in 1969 — we’ll warm up by a few degrees for Thursday as more sunshine mixes in. Still, though, with high pressure wedging in from the north, we’ll stay cooler than normal once again.

The high pressure wedge will retreat a bit as Thursday goes on. This will allow for the seabreeze to help kick off a few showers and thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and evening, but we will still not have a ton of moisture to work with behind the front. Rain chances will steadily increase overnight Thursday into Friday as the front moves back north of us, increasing available moisture and instability.
