A widespread cooling trend is forecasted across several regions in the U.S. toward the end of the week, with cooler temperatures, increased cloudiness, and gusty winds expected in the Bay Area and Pacific Northwest. Rain showers and a chance of thunderstorms are likely in central Oregon and the Salinas region, while wintry precipitation may mix with rain in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The cooling will be accompanied by breezy to strong winds, especially near coastal areas and in valleys, with gusts locally reaching 40–45 mph. After the weekend, conditions are expected to gradually warm up and dry out, with sunny skies and higher temperatures returning by early to mid-next week in most areas. There is also a slight chance of showers returning midweek in some regions, mainly in mountainous areas.
