The cooling trend continues today as temperatures fall heading into the weekend

A low pressure system is approaching Northern California. This revives the cooling trend in the valley floor after a brief pause yesterday. This system will cause temperatures to gradually cool into next week.

Tonight we are still tracking a major geomagnetic storm. This storm caused millions of Americans to see the Northern Lights last night. Although it won’t be as intense tonight, it’s still ongoing. They are caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with the upper parts of the Earth’s atmosphere. You can find out more about these storms HERE.

The temperature outlook shows gray colors over Southern California. This tells us that temperatures will likely be close to average in 6 to 10 days. More specifically, there is an equal chance of both above-average and below-average temperatures.

Overall, we expect cooler and more pleasant temperatures in the coming days. Highs are expected to fall into the upper 90s this weekend and stay there through Tuesday. A second cooling trend will take us into the lower 90s by the end of the week.
