Good morning, Central Coast. Happy Friday!

As we start the beginning of the weekend, expect a brief cooling in the forecast today, as low-pressure and stronger onshore flow return to the Central Coast.

Despite the sunshine, you'll see this weekend, expect to feel those cooler conditions throughout the rest of the day and into the weekend due to a trough currently moving through the region.

Skies are expected to clear off the coast Friday afternoon and we will also have increased night and morning low clouds due to marine layer influence.

As for winds, the moderate onshore flow will create gusty southwesterly wind in the afternoon and evening across some regions of the Central Coast, but wind speeds should remain below advisory levels in some areas of the region.

According to the National Weather Service, this evening, there will be gusty northwest winds across the western Santa Ynez Range, as Sundowners begin to strengthen tonight.

Gusts are expected to reach up to 45 mph near Gaviota and Refugio.

Wind gusts should start to slightly slow down as we head into the evening hours tonight.

Here are some temps you can expect this weekend throughout our beaches, coastal valleys, and inland areas for Saturday and Sunday.
