The general temperature trend is down

Temperatures Tuesday hit the 70s and some low 80s while inland temps soared into the upper 80s and lower 90s.

This is due to the axis of a ridge in the upper atmosphere moving over the area today. As expected there was just enough marine presence to keep coastal temperatures in some check.

The marine layer will make a larger return to the beaches and near coastal valleys Wednesday and cool temps a little.

To me it looks like Thursday temps jump a little before a trough approaches again bringing temps down Friday through Sunday behind stronger NW winds.

Later Saturday into Sunday a front passes over the area but won't produce rain, rather reinfornce strong NW winds. Sunday could be the coolest day of the forecast. After Sunday a ridge likely pumps up again pushing temps in the the upper 70s and lower 80s early next week (above average again).
