Cool weather coming to O.C.

SAFE HARBOR: Cory Neumiller captures the moodiness of changing weather in Dana Point Harbor.
Say so long to temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. At least for a day or two. A low pressure from the Gulf of Alaska is dropping south and will bring lots of clouds to Orange County on Thursday, making daytime high temperatures 5-10 degrees below normal, says the National Weather Service. Inland highs are only expected to reach the upper 60s. Forecasters say there’s a 20 percent chance that the fast moving system will produce intermittent showers. But the region, which is still in severe drought, won’t get much more than trace amounts of rain, if any. The system primarily poses a problem for boaters. The weather service has issued a small craft advisory for Southern California waters. Winds out of the west will track southeast, whipping up20-25 knot winds during the day with gusts to 35 mph. Mariners heading to or from Santa Catalina Island should exercise caution.
A warming trend will begin on Saturday and light offshore winds are expected Sunday.

Very cool photo. And yea for the cooler weather on the way!
Nice Gary… great pics as always.
Do you think the resorts will be able to blow snow?
2nd. Was this the time the fires came last year? Do you think we are out of the woods for Santa Ana’s here in the OC for the 09 season?
Thank you as always, and no more poems! haha.
Its plenty cold at some of the resorts. But when I checked the ski sites last weekend I didn’t see any signs that lots of artificial snow was being made. Yes, the Freeway fire occurred in November of last year. And the Santa Ana wind season isn’t over.
Yeah for cooler weather! I’m so SICK of the hot weather! I want to wear coats and scarves and sweatshirts! Wish it would stay around and get colder than it is.
I just wish it would RAIN!
it would help our drought but not the awful drivers we have in so cal. they crash with just sprinkles on the ground.
Amen, we need water so very badly right now. I hope this turns into a freak weather system and we get a decent storm.
I also want to add that if such a storm manifests I will be staying home to avoid the imminent traffic and enjoy a good movie wrapped in the huge blanket my Grandma made me with my sheltie at my side… man that sounds like a good day right now.
I would like it to be 80 degrees with no rain all year long!
Just kidding in a sense, of course. Seasons are a part of life, and we need rain. Badly.
I want it rain on Saturday around 12:30, so all the bandwagon USC fans can stay home. GO STANFORD
