Overall cooler/near normal with a day or two (sunny) with rain chances but no signal for heavier totals currently5/13 - 5/22. Watch the Wed-Thu period for potential heavier rain totals. Warm but cloudier on Tue perhaps to 80 with enough sun early. With rain / showers later Tue - Thu - SE/E flow not as cool as Mothers day / last Friday. Fri, pending on the clearing could get into the 70s near 80 before the what looks like another mainly cloudy and with rain chances this coming weekend 5/18- 5/19. Beyond there more of the same into net week 5/20. When will the persistent onshore pattern shift to a less unsettled and warmer one - in time to close the month beyond 5/23rd is the time to watch guidance in the next few days.
