easterly winds and up to 25 miles per hour and a dry week ahead for the mountains, unfortunately. as we look at our highlights, gusty winds today and ease up for your sunday. sunny all throughout the weekend and then we are looking at hints of rain but you'll see that they do get better. the chances as we go through the next several days. so, sunny today for your saturday and here is sunday and as we get into monday, looks like this system getting awfully close, but it falls apart. so, we're going to have to wait until the later part of the week and as we look at our seven-day outlook, this is what is playing out. looks like the rain trying to bust through this ridge as we get through the end of the workweek. winds today 10:00 gusting 20 to 30 miles per hour at the coast and lking a thuguthefternoon.-me-r-d gusnd the espite n coming up above average today. 22-mile-per-hour gusts
