As expected cloud cover has taken over much of the region and will continue to bring overcast and partially overcast skies through the day. This will help to decrease temps a little bit while also aiding to the slightly increased humidity that will make the temps feel warmer overall.

Good morning Central Coast!
To kick off the workweek mild conditions are on the way, at least compared to the weekend when many locations reached or beat records.
Some coastal valleys are seeing lots of marine influence to kick off the morning. Be cautious with low visibility on some roadways.
Despite the minimal coverage of cloud cover early this morning more is on the way as the large high pressure system driving this heat up brings cloud cover from the south. So despite temps falling slightly today for many it may feel hotter with added humidity.
The excessive heat warning that has been in place since Friday has been extended and will stay in place through 11 p.m. tonight.
There is also a heat advisory in place for the Santa Ynez Valley through 11 pm as well. This is just one step below the excessive heat warning so even though there is a separate warning, it means the same thing, heat is dangerous today, take caution.
Coastal regions today as still a few degrees above normal but on the whole are comfortable.
Beaches, coastal valleys, and interiors will see low clouds in the forecast, which may linger through Monday afternoon.
As we kick off the week here is a look at your extended forecast. While temps are slightly cooler for today and tomorrow they will be on the rise again. Extreme heat is expected through the end of the month!
