A new Pacific system is expected to track across the Great Basin this weekend into early next week, gradually cooling temperatures in the county, NWS said.

Looking ahead, another Pacific system could arrive late next week, potentially bringing temperatures back to normal or slightly below.

The marine layer will persist throughout the week with slight fluctuations in its depth and coverage.
