If anyone reading this happens to live on the coast, my apologies go out to you. You're not going to be getting any kind of warmth on Thursday. The wind looks to shift, and you'll feel the impact first.

Highs on the coast will drop from the 70s, down into the 50s and 60s with an on-shore breeze between 5 - 15 mph. The rain looks to hold off until the weekend when highs struggle to get into the 50s in a few spots.

I hope you didn't put the winter attire away just yet. You might need some of it this weekend!
