'Unseasonably Cool' Temps On Tap For Menlo Park, Atherton

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA — Residents and visitors to the Peninsula will experience some cooler-than-normal temperatures throughout the coming days due to the arrival of an "upper level low," forecasters said.

"This pattern stays in place through Saturday," the NWS said in its forecast discussion Friday. "On Sunday the upper low ejects inland but no big changes."

And don't expect it to get much warmer next week, either.
