Reaching the top of the roller coaster of weather Thursday

The southland is currently experiencing a rollercoaster type of weather. One day it's warm and the next day on the cool side of things.

This pattern is expected to continue into next week.

For the short term (through Friday):
Top of the rollercoaster:
...High pressure (currently situated near Salt Lake) will produce a weak off shore flow of warm temperatures on Thursday. Meanwhile... as the high pressure slides to the east and weaken... this will result in a weak onshore push of air late Thursday night and Friday. Resulting in slightly cooler temperatures on Friday. But... the low stratus deck should remain just off shore over the coastal waters... including the islands.

This weekend:
The bottom of the rollercoaster:
A weak frontal system will slide by to just to north of use Friday night/Saturday morning. This bring much more substantial push of cool ocean air over the coastal plain extending inland to the valleys and lower mountain slopes.

An "Eddy" circulation will develop... resulting in a deep marine layer with some locations near seeing sunshine during the weekend.

Additionally... with this flow... temperatures will struggle to get out of the 60s during the daytime hours.

Early next week:
Climbing the rollercoast again:
Warmer temperatures are forecast to return by the early part of next week as atmospheric heights increase.
