Good morning, Central Coast!
As we kick off Thursday morning there is a significant layer of marine influence moving onshore and bringing some visibility concerns for the interior valleys. Simply cloud cover is expected in lower elevations.
Thankfully the skies will clear out quickly for the interior valleys, and a bit slower by the beaches. Either way sunshine is expected across the region by this afternoon
The onshore flow is helping keep our temps on the cooler side. Wednesday dealt with those overnight foggy conditions and morning clouds, but we did get to enjoy some clearing in the afternoon.
We will see very similar conditions for today.
This whole pattern is in place due to a large ridge of high pressure sitting to our west. This is not only helping to keep onshore flow in place but also is acting as a block between us and some "not so perfect" weather brewing in the pacific.
This ridge of high pressure will keep conditions very consistent day after day, the sun-cloud mix will continue with beaches in the mid 60s, coastal valleys in the mid 70s, and interiors in the mid 80s.
Our seven-day forecast is showing a minor dip in temperatures on Monday across the board but even that isn't much of a change.
In the meantime, mild temps will continue thanks to that onshore flow
Have a wonderful day Central Coast!
