Storm Watch Meteorologist Craig Allen says a dry spell is coming this week which can enhance the chance of brushfires.

MONDAY: Sunny and amazing! Highs near 62. A sea breeze keeps communities south of the Merritt Parkway cooler, in the mid-to-lower 50s. Still sunny there, though! Lows near 43.

TUESDAY: Another fantastic day. Highs near 68. Cooler at the coast. Sunny. Lows near 50. Late evening clouds.

WEDNESDAY: Passing morning clouds and may be a sprinkle. A steady northwesterly wind prevents a sea breeze, so the coast finally gets some warmth. Highs near 72. Lows near 54.

THURSDAY: Highs near 77. Lows near 56.

FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs near 80. Lows near 58.

THE WEEKEND: Sunny with passing clouds. Highs in the lower 70s, upper 60s.
