showers for this weekend

It won't be a total washout, however. Showers will begin Friday night ahead of the main frontal system that will also bring breezy conditions. Showers linger into Saturday once the front pushes through. Sunday, however, looks really nice, with sunny skies and highs only in the mid 70s. In fact, much of the next seven days look fantastic, with below average temps each day. This time of year we should be in the upper 80s for highs. We'll get close to that today, the warmest day of the next seven. Other than Friday night and Saturday, the rest of the forecast will be dry and sunny, perfect early fall weather. Speaking of which, astronomical fall begins this Sunday. Meteorological fall began back on September 1st. It's finally beginning to feel like it here in Northern California!
