2 weeks ago | keyt.com | Shawn Quien

New Published June 8, 2025 3:57 pm Another very typical June day with mostly seasonal temperatures and plenty of coastal fog. Look for the marine layer to ramp up again for the overnight and in to early Monday. Could even some spotty drizzle in areas as the marine layer thickens up late. North to northwest winds will help to keep the clouds at bay for some of our southerly facing coastlines, but overall fog will dominate our weather.

New Published June 1, 2025 3:59 pm A beautiful Sunday with a definite taste of Summer as tropical clouds lurking to our south and the marine layer behaving nicely for beach goers. Cloud cover to our south is a very interesting mix of weather systems. A cut off low has drifted in off the Pacific and parked itself right over northern Baja and Southern California. Being that it is cut off from upper level steering winds, it will wobble back and forth with little real movement.

New Published May 4, 2025 3:53 pm Our most recent late season storm continues to push further east which allowed for some clearing along the coast. However, right along the foothills and inland along the mountains, the clouds piled up and kept many areas from seeing the Sun and kept temperatures on the cool side once again. A lingering chance for sprinkles will continue through the night and in to very early Monday. Overnight lows will dip in the 50's for most areas.
