Cool and cloudy weather will dominate Thursday as a low-pressure system moves over the western United States during the second half of the week.

Strong coastal flow and an increase in the marine layer could lead to isolated drizzle on Thursday morning, with a higher chance of light rain between Thursday night and Friday morning.
