7 Day Forecast

There is currently a dip in the jet stream called a trough that is allowing cold air to sink in from the north. But out west, there is a ridge which is a lift in the jet stream allowing warmer air from the south.

Over the rest of the week, that ridge is going to move to the east and allow warmer air to work its way in for the weekend which will allow it to get into the low 50s. Unfortunately, the warmer air will likely come with some rain on Friday and Sunday.
