Good morning Central Coast!
As we kick off our Tuesday morning high pressure is taking over and banishing much of the dense fog that we typically see each early morning. Most locations are clear but there is some dense fog lingering in the Santa Ynez valley, take extra caution where visibility falls.
The rest of the Central Coast is seeing clear conditions, this is a good indication of the big change that is headed our way that will bring very warm conditions later this week.
Diving right into the roller coaster we are seeing from the chilly and damp weekend to the dry heat we will see next week.
A large low pressure system brought strong northerly winds and much cooler weather over the weekend. That trough of low pressure has now moved East of the Central Coast.
Now we are transitioning to a much more robust high pressure system that will cover the west and bring extreme heat over the next few days.
This will help to banish much of our typical marine influnce, bring some offshore winds and possible Santa Ana's to the LA Basin and as we typically see with ridges of high pressure, lots and lots of sunshine.
Temps today are nearly spot on normal for this time of year as we transition from the cool weekend to the heat this week.
The temps will continue to climb Wednesday with temps in the low 90s for interior valleys.
The worst of this heat will be Thursday and Friday as highs will climb into the 90s for many coastal valleys and into the upper 90s for the interior valleys.
By Saturday night the ridge will have moved east enough to focus the worst of the pattern to our east. This will bring us some slight cooling Sunday.
Into early next week temps will cool off a few more degrees but will still stay above normal for this time of year.
Have a wonderful day Central Coast!
