Weather: A low pressure system off the coast could bring some moisture along the Sierra, however most areas in Northern California could continue to see southwest winds. If the weather system moves onshore, it could bring some unseasonably cool conditions, which help aid firefighters in their containment efforts.
In Southern California rainfall is likely to continue over the mountains and deserts.
