.Forecast Summary...A Pacific system will push a dry cold front through the NNSS this afternoon. Northwest winds will increase behind it but remain well below advisory level. A series of Pacific systems will move into the West Coast this weekend. They will provide gusty winds, a chance of showers and much cooler temperatures. Looking ahead to next week, several more systems will approach the region from more of a northerly direction. They will bring periods of gusty winds and even cooler temperatures. There are indications of a stronger storm affecting the region by the end of next week.
