For parts of the west and northwest, increasing cloud, sea fog hovering near some outer coasts and remnants coming inland as low cloud or mist, then showers or periods of rain by late afternoon or evening.

Winds rather light south to southwest for most, but moderate southwest by afternoon near west coast, strong gusts offshore (SSW 50-70 km/hr). EP -- There could be some cloud at times but warm or even hot sunshine may burn through the cloud at times, with a slight southerly breeze increasing to moderate near the end of the day, highs could reach 23 C. Should note that there is a slight risk of this very warm air creating some instability but at this point its more likely to arrive overnight after most of the event, crews may be encountering some thundershowers by early Monday morning, but these should be fast-moving and brief.
